"who knows?" NL
It's not clear to me by what logic you exclude what you believe (apparently without logical grounds) is NOT the cause, without any apparent idea what is.
"I just know OUR potential is pure positivity." NL
Humans are omnivores.
That means we both hunt, and fish.
Your opinion expressed here is doubly humanocentric.
First, in the self-aggrandizing view that we are positive, while presumably some others are not; otherwise your statement would not have been "OUR potential is pure positivity", but that -ALL potential is pure positivity.-
Second, I'm not sure if you've ever gone fishing or hunting, or toured an abattoir. But it's a ghastly business.
If you were the fish that's decapitated or bludgeoned to death, or the fur bearer that's shot and left to bleed to death, and then gutted and skinned; I'm not sure how enthusiastic you'd be about the assertion that:
"I just know OUR potential is pure positivity." NL
In addition, your assertion contradicts millennia of human pre-history and history.
It doesn't explain crucifixion, or totalitarian nightmares of Stalin's USSR, or the equally horrific degradations of Hitler's Germany, or Kim Jong Il's North Korea.
"I just know OUR potential is pure positivity." NL
It's a nice thought. But such reality obfuscation is best left for children. Adults should know better.
