Is is just in our very nature....................................................................................................................................................

I think people are getting of topic so I want to say a few things:

I agree with BenWalters. Visually the video is great. I enjoyed the typography as well. It does not matter if Jesus is black, white, brown or green. The creator has just used the most popular image of our culture.

About the maker of this video – it does not matter whether we agree on what he/she says or not. He/she has a strong…how should I say…belief in Jesus and his virtues. That is just his/her point of view and he/she is skilled enough to have made such a good video. If I was to honor someone I find perfect in every aspect, I would write a poem about my parents (I enjoy writing). And it would be wrong for someone to judge the accuracy/truth of my words, because…well…they don’t see life through my eyes.

To summarize, I think the video is good. It’s visually pleasing and the creator has something to share with whoever can be bothered to watch it.

Thank you for your time.

P.S. The content of the video and its truthfulness are questionable to say the least, but I have found that people can rarely be convinced their beliefs are wrong, so I will not go into detail.

As many have pointed out, we are debating whether humans, as a species, have a reason to live. Not as individuals. This is what I will be discussing. I don’t believe we have a reason, I believe we have many reasons.

Firstly, there is proof that we, as humans, have harmed the Earth (An Inconvenient Truth is just one good example). So I propose that if we can harm our planet, we can also help/heal/save it. And that, in itself, is a good enough reason for humans to live. To undo what we have done. To redeem ourselves as a species. And this, in term, might lead to saving other planets.

Secondly, there is the innate human need for Discovery. This is what has driven us since we formed as a species(given you take Darwin's theory of evolution as true – 200 000 years ago). From the primitive "Find out a better way to hunt/collect food" to the contemporary "Find out a better way to earn money, fame or whatever you hold dear". From the invention of the wheel to the printing press, radio and theInternett. Rising from the bottom of the food chain to its top, without gaining any physicalstrengtht, we can safely assume that humans are, overall, superior to any other animal on the planet. This, on its own, could mean that we have more of a reason to live than any other mammal, insect, bird etc. Let us, however, take into account the bigger picture. Would the universe be affected if the people seized to exist. Probably not. But we cannot know for sure, unless we survive for long enough to find out. Maybe we will discover a way to influence the cosmos. And the inherentcuriosityy of humans will, hopefully one day, enable us to do just that. Give us the ability to influence everything, for better or for worse.

Someone can also argue, that all the individual reasons of humans (collective reasoning, if you will), are a good enough...reason, on its own, for us to live. But I am not that someone.

Thank you for reading.
