Humanity, at its core, is nothing special. We can parade our wealth around and try desperately to establish ourselves as superior to another, we can build big empires and companies and technology our ancestors couldn't have even thought of, we can fight over religion and race and class and sexuality, we can strive to study and excel at a hundred things just to prove we were here, just to prove we did something.
Even so, at the end of the day what stays is the mundane. Handprints left behind on cave walls, finding two people who loved each other so much they were buried next to each other, films and paintings and music and poetry and myths and stories that someone poured their heart and life experiences into, everything that has been shaped into existence in the quiet spaces that hide below our bustling lives. Everything that doesn't just say I was here, but that I was here and I was just like you. That is what remains, that is what touches the hearts of those who are here and those who will be here years from now.
Humanity, at its core, is nothing special. And that is exactly what makes it so special.
thats almost a thousand reblogs have fun
reblog for me to send really really weird and slightly ominous headcanons about you in your inbox
i should figure out how to homebrew white monster actually
im going to start saying I'm raw as a way to express confidence in my abilities and circumstances
im sure you do
sometimes I lay on the floor and I meow
We're all alone, walking in twilight
The night‘s been long, and so many have fallen
Feel no remorse, light will be breaking
Our freedom is worth it all
