Humans

 Humans are an absurd and inscrutable bunch. They fear one another but need one another. They love one another but shun one another. They save one another but kill one another. Out of the womb they are pure possibility but grow into criminals, heroes, helpers, greedy people, martyrs—all of it. They seek wisdom then ignore it. They dream then lock themselves in a box. They lock others into poverty and lock their wealth in banks and objects.

They struggle with their bodily urges, let their minds get flabby and ignore their spirits. They kill their prophets and saviors and worship fame and power.
