We shower in our own vanity, we subjugate others and confine ourselves into our own arrogant groups, discriminate and wage wars. At least some of us. Those that play others emotions and desires, they do it because of greed, to gather more for me at any cost, without consent of the future. Of course it's just human nature, display dominance and continue to do so in the future, because you can, and it suites you. Will we ever overcome our own folly? Will we ever get past this evolutionary desire? This completely absurd and destructive idea!
It brings me to a sort of melancholy nihilism when I look at the world. It's cycle of prosperity and decay. It appears to me that it is slowly crumbling, and that it might collapse, or even worse continue it's cycle of destruction. Bubble and burst. For if it did completely collapse, there might be a chance that it could become something greater in due time. Something that doesn't lend itself to finance and greed. Something where there are necessities for all, because at least that would be a better world than what we have. Not a complete utopia, who would want such a dull world anyways. To strive and challenge are some of mans greatest attributes, to change and refine. If there was nothing more to do, nothing more to improve, what a bore that would be.
All I want to do is explore and understand the universe. Probe the laws of the universe and come to a greater understanding of what we live within, and to share it with the world. You might call it research and development, but that is just relegating it to three words. It is something more; it too is part of human nature, far less destructive, it is the human spirit of exploration, and problem solving. It is a beautiful thing that we should cherish and culture. It gives me hope for humanity, that we could progress into the future, a much more civilized species. That we can solve the problems of greed and hatred, and cast them off. But it saddens me that it will not be soon, if ever, and there's not much I can do about it

Please excuse the grammatical errors, I was in quite an emotional flurry when I wrote this post.
