Wat am Ay libing por?

By: Duke Xander

“What am I living for… if not for U-uuhhh?”

This is a very very lame song that would make anyone who hears it run (or fly if possible) for his or her life or else, suffer the consequence of hearing it over and over again in their head. But this song really struck my head into thinking deep. Questions were finally generated from this little brain of mine. What am I really living for? Is there a mission for me to accomplish in this very wonderful world? Why are we living? Why has mankind evolved to existence? Is there a mission for mankind to accomplish in this world? Wouldn’t be this world become more beautiful without mankind in it?
If there is really a mission for mankind in this world, I think that it would be to become the savior and the protector of the world and its inhabitants. But why is there a funny and horrible feeling surging through my body that mankind is really doing the opposite of what he should really be doing? Mankind is actually the one (out of many millions of species) who is hastening the destruction of the world. The earth is doing just fine before man existed. Plants are blooming, animals are growing and evolving, (and eating each other’s ass off. Yehey, what fun!!) and basically balancing each other as we know it. Man, right after he arrived, defaced the world and destroyed the balance of nature. Many species, once reproducing in great number, now lies beneath the mercy of man and scared of being taken away from the endangered list (and being added to the extinct list). Truly mankind has performed its mission of being the villain in the evolution of the world.
Let me get back to my previous questions, what am I living for? Is my mission in this world be to be able to write this very editorial to open the eyes of my reader’s? would it really affect the world if I had not been born? Would this editorial really change the world as we know it? I honestly can’t really answer these questions. Only time will tell.
