The Hypocrisy of Humans

[ExhaustedOne]

I just wanted to comment on the hypocrisy of the "life is so precious" mainstream mantra. Do you ever notice most people put their dogs and cats to sleep, not wanting them to suffer, but for humans for some reason they do want them to suffer to the very last gasp. It makes no sense.

Yeah, humans are such flawed creatures and also super narcissistic and egotistical. What makes a human life inherently worth more than an animals life? The homosapiens evolved and ruined the planet for all the millions of other animals who were living in peaceful ecosystems with their unneeded and unnecessary inventions.

Putting a pet to sleep is no easy decision.
While assisted suicide is rare, heavy drugs are widespread. With elderly patients, risks are often disregarded, in favor of reducing suffering.

There's definitely room for improvement, but I don't think the hypocrisy is quite as big as people tend to think.

Well, I mean if someone said I prolonged a pet's suffering to the very last gasp, most people would say such person is being either selfish, cruel or both.

Yes, but I see it a slightly different way. It is almost like they are granting animals more compassion and empathy than they do humans.

It's just so horrific to me and extremely cruel how the suffering of human existence is seen as to force and prolong no matter what, I always suffer so much from being enslaved in this futile, torturous existence so cruelly denied a way to just never wake ever again, all I hope for is the peace of an eternal dreamless sleep where all is finally gone and forgotten, I just want to never suffer in this existence ever again and it terrifies me how a human can be conscious in this existence for so long with no limit as to how much agony they can feel.

We have ruined the planet, but the ecosystem was and is far from peaceful. Nature is insanely brutal, being eaten alive sounds horrible and it happens all the time in ecosystems.

We eat animals alive and dead every day, that is the natural cycle of life- you are either prey or predator.The ecosystem was peaceful as in their way of life was fixed and natural, they didn't have fucking humans chopping down trees and setting alight massive blazes and construction to build unnecessary factories and advanced infrastructure killing millions of insects and animals. And for what? So they can enjoy a nice rosy view from their fancy penthouse villa lol. That is the price humans put on other forms of life; easily eradicated and disposed for the leisure of our despicable species.
