We are all fucking monsters. Each and every one of us. Don't let anyone tell you any different.

We are a selfish, violent, hideous blight on the planet tearing it apart for our own needs.

Think I'm wrong?

Go into a shop. What do you see? Chocolate made from the milk forced out of the tit of a cow wishing it was dead. Cakes made with eggs taken from hens locked in tiny cages or given a tiny bit of space to stretch their wings in so they can be labled "free range" for those with paper thin morals. And what else is in the shop? Meat. Refigerated pre-packaged...

Meat.

Skinned, sliced and boned for your convenience. No need to worry, death has been removed from the equation for you. You are free to chew on any piece of carcass from your chosen animal without having to go through the emotional turmoil of seeing it die in front of you. It was probably killed humanely anyway. As far as you know.

You idiot. You heartless bastard. There are murderers with more scruples than you. At least they have confronted death head on, they were not afraid to do their own work. How the fuck can killing by any method be called humane? You cower behind your prestigious place in society and you chew that fat.

And now take a step outside the shop. What else do we have?

Concrete! Smothering the land that nutured us for thousands of years! Conditions were carefully balanced for millenia so that we could rise from whichever puddle we originated in and flourish. And now we have decided we own it all. We have chained it and called it our own. It bends to our will and we are killing it.

And ourselves. Look at you with your cigarette. Gasping down the smoke so you can deal with the stress of you modern life. If you don't get that cigarette, then the whole world's going to go shit! You still look like you can walk alright though. Why don't you shovel a few more greasy burgers into your mouth and pile on the pounds before someone accuses you of being healthy.

But do we care about any of this? Of course not. We throw money at various charities to get an occasional fix of good will. We recycle the masses of packaging from our luxury sushi set or just our microwave dinner. We buy organic produce, because that makes us good people.

Give me a justification for any of this. Prove that you are truely detached from reality. Make it all ok.

Monsters. Every fucking one of us.
