I am a proud human...

"You will give the people an ideal to strive towards. They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they will join you in the sun. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders." - Jor El, played by Russell Crowe, in the Man of Steel
Sometimes people make fun of me when I decide to be the human- in gaming and rp's. They wonder how I can support and stand beside a species that is so hell-bent on destroying itself and its world.
Because I am a human. I am PROUD to be a human.
We have fought our way to the top of the chain after so many centuries on the bottom, letting carnivorous beasts devour our kin with little thought or care. Then we became strong in mind and body, building tools to help us fight our enemies of nature... even ourselves. We have decimated species to become rulers, and I have no regrets of that. We have earned it. We destroy our world, nail our Gods to crosses, burn them, or simply murder them. We linger on the edge of destroying ourselves... yet we are able to pull away every time. We, as a race, continue.
There is evil in us. That is not a secret. But there is also the good that helps us battle that evil. Humans are flawed. Animals are flawed. Everything is flawed, but it only makes all of us fight harder to live.
I don't hide myself behind fur and claws and fangs. I hide myself behind machinery and science, for WE have made that. WE have created so many things, both terrible and wonderful!
"Humans are scum!"
The Doctor didn't think so. Beings from beyond the stars hate and respect us in some media. True, we are but a blip on the extraterrestrial radar... but I like that. Either they think we are pathetic and primitive... or they know how insane we are.
I stand with humanity and carry the flag of the entire world.
I am not afraid to say that we are the top of the chain. I am not afraid to be arrogant with my "power" and "influence" over the natural world.
You can judge me all you want. You can call me a fascist or whatever you wish, but I know where I stand.
I would sooner defend all of humanity than a small patch of green.
Good day.

We disappeared
Past rusted turnstiles
We persevere
