Betrayal

 Betrayal

I have tried to pin down that feeling that one gets when they first confront the seemingly bizarre reason that humanity is such a mess.

In retrospect, I realize it is the same feeling I experienced myself when I first realized what was wrong with humanity.  Maybe the biggest difference is that I had already been looking for what is wrong with humanity.  I was a little more prepared.  I knew it was an important step for humanity to take.  Even so, it still dogged my steps for the next fifteen years.  To utter a word about the lack inherent in the animal's rutting rendition of coitus felt like betrayal.  It is only a betrayal of the animal which, it ends up, is required in order to release our Humanity.  In essence, it is overcoming the stupour of the animal to achieve sentient clarity.
