Are We Really The Same?

We claim we are the same species, but we carry numerous genes which make us different.

Are We Really The Same?

We had class presentations in Biology and one student showed a video of multiple people walking to get to wherever they needed to go and it got me thinking- humans are a type of species and are classified as mammals.

We are animals and have the ability to repopulate because nothing puts our species in danger besides ourselves. But even then, there are still billions of people who exist and are able to repopulate the Earth.

When you start to think about the fact that humans kill off species to maintain dominance and find a way of living through greed and money, acting as if no life matters but our own. We are more of an invasive species that has come to run the world, rather than grow along side it.

We have lost our connection with what gave us, well, life.

We act as if we need all this land and housing, but in reality, we really need to reconnect with our roots and realize we are not who we think we are.

The only thing that makes us similar to each other are our organs and our form of self. No one looks entirely the same, even when you are related. Everyone has numerous amounts of genes that differ from each other. Something about us is different from the person you are standing or sitting next too.

Some people carry forms of diseases, while others are born with disabilities.

We are the same species, but with different grounds of form.

Bacteria, viruses and forms of diseases are our predators, but with time, they will be overcome the human species.

We will be wiped out, the same thing we have done to other livings forms.

Only time can tell when.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
