Are we guilty??

while studying biology, i have thought of this. 'Are we guilty??'

WARNING: this post might be againts/affect some way of thinking

here is a part on evolution of the animals according to charles darwin:
"parents will produce more offspring than the population of a species"
and
"the fittest will survive"
and
"who survive depend on the selective advantage and the disadvantage"

to make things clear, an example. a tiger will produce lets say 6 cubs in its life time. and maybe only 1 will stay alive and become an adult and reproduce... that's the idea of charles darwin's law. the other 5 will die as they are so call "not-fit-for-survival"

okay. here is the problem. we as humans is not abiding this law of nature. We reproduce more than our parents generation, (correct for the 1st statement) but the weak will survive and reproduce too(AGAINST 2ND STATEMENT). so now here is the main problem. as the human population increase, more resource is needed correct?? more land is needed. correct?? so this means less place for the animals to walk and roam about.

from statement 3, we as humans are TOTALLY against it. there is this selective preassure on the population causing only the fittest will survive. and this preassure act inwards the curve. but for humans, we are trying to save all living 'HUMANS... all as in the sick, the diseased, those not-fit-to-survive in todays society etc. etc.....this means that the selective preassure is acting outwards. and when this happens, total population will increase and not maintain in a constant oscillating level which is suppose to be. some might think that there are deadly disease around us trying to kill us. so is that a selective preassure?? my answer?? maybe. humans have been given the brain to think and they use it to of course change the selective preasure to an advantage. and when population of humans increase, the animals decrease.

here is what i think. we humans are so selfish that to survive, we kill. we kill other living organisms because we think they are worth dying as the survival of humans is the most important thing this world. we kill 10 tigers because a rubber tapper was scratch by one. we kill the whole river of crocodiles because one of them ate 3 cows from the neighboring farm. we kill the python because it is found under the sink. we kill the trees because it grow directly on where we want to build our house. all this for me is acts of brutality of mankind towards the nature. is it ok if to for a tiger to survive, the tiger kills humans?? you answer yourself...

at the end of the day, human are all guilty in damaging our world. we go against cloning because we say its a act of playing god. but isn't going against nature and making our own selective advantage playing god too?? we do research on how to be more beautiful and worst live longer. isn't that playing god where we don't accept what is given to us??

as conclusion. i, as a human admit i am guilty of all the above. but what can i do?? sigh...

p/s i wonder what other 'living organisms' think about it??
