positive things about humans

Okay, I promised I'd find something positive to say about my species.

Well, there are a lot of people I like, I don't want to make myself out some sort of misogynist. It's just the whole species thing I guess. As a species, what's to like?

Wow, this is a tough one.

Yeah, I'm heavily biased in favor of non-humans.

There is something, now I come to think of it. We do things knowingly. I mean, that's the really terrible thing about humans, but it's also the amazing, wonderful thing, isn't it? That they do good things, things they themselves will never benefit from, things for a future they know they'll never see. They know they'll die, and they do those things anyway. To help people they'll never know.

I'm not talking about people acting to protect their own bloodline, and I'm not talking about people who act to protect their own future - the one they think they'll have after death. Nothing noble about doing good because you think it'll earn you brownie points.

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe everyone doing good is doing it for selfish reasons, but I don't think so. And those are the people who justify the human race.
