Agree. Human great. Me likey likey with hot sauce. Yum yum. Human tasty.
We can sing, write poetry, dance, build airplanes, argue about pointless subjects in virtual forums, spend countless hours not enjoying just so we can enjoy in the evenings and weekends, and often not enjoying anyway.
We spend most of out time thinking or interacting with other creatures or their creations, live in a nice artificial world which is mostly blind to the needs of other beings.
And yes life is so short, yet we think that what we do is extremely important, and feel the same way about the actions of others.

Humans are not so great... ugly and stinky, and literally too smart for their own good.
You man kind.

yes i have the thinking power thats why we fell that u r having short life otherwise we would not.
there are so many things that indicate the same we r not like othr organisms
living to 100 years old is old enough in my opinion.
Human is great because there is end to human life.This restricts him to create his own image withing community, let it be bad or good. There are sorrows and happiness.Because there is sorrow there is value for happiness.

Sounds like you have a bone to pick (Really minor pun intended) with someone. We have a forum for those kinds of issues you know.
I think the most important is that human can stduy. It is the most valuable quality in human. For study, we can talk; For study, we can create; For study, we can love; For study, we can live. I believe we can live longer for study in the future^^
I think life is not short, but the strong life is short, when we over sixty age, we are geting weak.

In the long view of history, even 100 years of perfect health would be a pittance.
humans are great people. they can love and be loved. its great to be a human being. created in the image of God. to take dominion and to have total control of the world and the things that have been given to us freely. human beings have been given wisdom to do exploits and to do great things to glorify God. we are able to work and make a living for ourselves. helping each other to succeed. its great being alive and human. yes life may be too short but its worth living.

So can many animals, including my favorite, horses.

Speak for yourself. I'd rather be a horse.

And how do you know what God's image is? I'd think that (a) God wouldn't choose an image as ugly as humans are.

One of the things I dislike the most about humans, in fact.

Like killing each other by the millions! Yay!
| Quote: |
| we are able to work and make a living for ourselves. |
You mean just like every other living thing on the planet, to include bacteria?
Oh wait, some humans don't work and make a living for themselves, instead living off the charity of others...
| Quote: |
| helping each other to succeed. |
Just like many other animals, and even some plants and bacteria, do. (Including horses.)

Great to be alive: yes.
Great to be human: opinions differ about this.
Too short but worth living: yes.
Sure, life has it's up and downs but overall it's really crud. No, I don't hate my life and I am grateful for being here but it's tons of things that go wrong that make me agree with ocalhoun.
1. God? Really, who? I'm not up for religion, sure if you're Catholic or anything I respect your decision and won't say anything but it's not for me. I figure I'm atheist, but I don't see the point in "praying" to some high-being. I will respect your religion if you respect mine.
2. Why so much hate? I mean seriously, life's hard enough as it is without people making it extremely difficult for each other. Seriously, we have to live on this planet together why the hell are we out killing people and stealing from each other. Seriously. (yeah, I said "seriously" three times I hope you get my point that it makes NO sense at all)
3. In addition to the point above, if God created such a great race, why do we kill people? What's the point? Why do we kill and eat Animals? If God had such a master plan, why are we killing animals and eating them for breakfast? Soon enough, they'll all be dead.
4. POVERTY. If life was so perfect why are people living on the streets or living without food.
I think the opposite of people, I think. Everybody thinks everything is great, while I pick out the points where things are wrong. It drives me crazy sometimes. Yeah, it's great to be alive like ocalhoun said but there's SO much we need to improve on. My father brought up a good point once:
Cancer, why is it still around? We donate billions of dollars each year and we STILL haven't found a cure? Why? We have a cure for basically everything else in the world, why not this? His theory is that it's just another way to kill of human beings. I believe him, I really do.

Profit.
Miracle cancer drug that cures with one dose: $4,000 (per patient)
Cancer drug that has to be taken for years: $200 x 50 (month supplies) = $10,000 (per patient)
'Restless leg syndrome' pill that will probably be taken for the rest of the life of the patient: $50 x 600 (month supplies) = $30,000 (per patient, and more patients available than for cancer!)
Now, supposing you run a drug company, and have received a few million dollars for cancer research. Also, you have your own R&D funds to spend.
Since you have to spend the cancer funds on cancer, would you rather get a return of $4,000 or $10,000? Naturally, (given your duty to the stockholders) you spend it on what will give the greater returns: long, gradual treatments.
Now, for the rest of the funds.
You could spend it on the cancer drug, which will probably give you a return of $10,000. Or, you could spend it on the 'restless leg syndrome' drug, which will give you $30,000 per patient, and more patients besides... Once again, you'd be cheating the stockholders if you didn't choose the more profitable option.
Nobody is curing any disease anymore, because it's more profitable to treat it than to cure it.
And it's even more profitable to treat life-long conditions that don't really harm people much (erectile dysfunction, acid reflux, allergies, restless leg syndrome, et cetera). When you make medicine for those, people keep buying it for life, and they don't die off like cancer patients.
(Oh, and another dirty little secret. Although they try very cleverly to hide it in their financial statements, drug companies probably spend about twice the money on advertising that they do on research.)
It's pathetic, I don't have any words for it other than WHY? Money is/has ultimately corrupted this planet.

No, not money. People can still value possessions and power over the lives of others in a moneyless barter system.
Greed perhaps. Apathy about the suffering of others. The existence of such a large, complicated social system that makes widespread abuses possible... Maybe there are other explanations as well.
even if life is so short .we can make life colorful!
