The fact that Israel is doing what it's doing, Germany is doing what it's doing(its far right is on the rise again as well), and we're doing what we're doing despite being the first human lifespan where we have literal video and photographic records and testimony of past atrocities really gives me disdain for my own species.
As a species, We seem to either be incapable of or refuse to retain the lessons of history beyond a single human lifespan. That's quite limiting.
A human life can be both terribly long and tragically short. But our lifespans are fairly insignificant to the wheels of time.
That being said, we can and should do better.
