There are no other species on Earth that steal, lie and kill their own the way humans do.
Shame on us humans. I completely agree and it’s sad. That’s what humans are. They have a good qualities, but unfortunately they have a bad qualities as well, greed, lies, complains, theft,...
Recently I read an article where author complained about overall police, he called them with different kind of words (not pretty words). I asked him if he was in need, if he was in that situation when he got the only chance that could save him to call 911, if he would do that. He didn’t respond, but complaining stopped as well. We can complain about government, about politicians, about borders, but if we didn’t have any of it, we might have turned into animals as well. As you mentioned “we need to protect ourselves from ourselves”, we need law and order.
