This is How Humans are Destroyed
The reason I write this post is that while I was visiting one of the ansar today, may God protect him, I learned of the news that representatives of the Religious Authority (as they call themselves) have recently introduced an election slogan “My Province Comes First”.
A study recently conducted by a Japanese scientist from Kyoto University has demonstrated that the chimpanzee’s intelligence machine can be better than that of the human in some areas, such as short term memory.
Other animals share types of altruism as well, such as reciprocal altruism, which we have in common with vampire bats, or altruism regarding family, children and relatives that is constructed by the genes in the bodies, and which we share even with the rats in their holes.
What truly distinguishes us humans from other animals across the earth is unbiased and genuine altruism. Also, unbiased and genuine altruism is contrary to its accepted and logical scientific explanation, whether by evolutionary biology or social biology. Therefore, unbiased and genuine altruism is the obstacle standing tall in opposition to the scientific perfection of the atheist theory.
What distinguishes us humans is that we, in some cases and unlike all other animals, rebel against the selfishness of the individual genes and their structure in our bodies, as throughout hundreds of millions of years, the individual genes have been building bodies in order to behave in a selfish way that benefits the gene, by allowing them to survive and transfer from one generation to another.
The genes that can build machines in the body such as glands, and catalysts such as enzymes, compel the body toward false and unreal altruism, an altruism that brings it benefit, such as the altruism of parents toward their children. But the genes cannot work against their individual, selfish best-interest to build unbiased and genuine altruism in the bodies, or to even allow it as a culture to pass by smoothly. This is because in nature, it would mean that these bodies would become extinct and that genetic group would die off and would not transfer from one generation to another.
Our human identity that distinguishes us from the other animals is unbiased and genuine altruism without expectation of future reciprocation, as vampire bats expect when they regurgitate some blood for their neighbors, and it is without an instinct built within us by the genes to compel us toward altruism regarding children for instance, as they are the means of survival of the genes and the means of their transfer to the next generation.
Unbiased and genuine altruism is the honorable identity that a living being can possess, not just on the earth, but also at the level of the physical materialistic world as a whole. And it is unfortunate that the majority of people let go of it without knowing that by doing so, they choose to have the simian state dominate them, and they become like any other variety of the remainder of the great apes; the chimpanzee or the gorilla or the orangutan.
The Almighty said, {“And you had already known about those who transgressed among you concerning the sabbath, and We said to them, “Be apes, despised.”} Surat al-Baqarah (The Cow) 2:65.
And the Almighty said, {Say, “Shall I inform you of worse than that as penalty from God? Those whom God has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs and slaves of tyranny. Those are worse in position and further astray from the sound way.”} Surat al-Maeda (The Table Spread) 5:60.
And the Almighty said, {So when they were insolent about that which they had been forbidden, We said to them, “Be apes, despised.”} Surat al-Araf (The Heights) 7:166.
This means that they tossed the keys from their hands and lost the humane soul that God transmitted into their father Adam PBUH, which He urged them to acquire. And the only thing that remained within them was the animalistic soul, thus they returned to their origins: animals and bodies that serve the selfishness of the genes and nothing else.
So in opposition to those who call you using [the words] “I come first” or “my brother comes before my cousin” or “my cousin comes before the stranger” or “my city, province or country comes first”, I call you to the slogan of “My Humanity Comes First”. And your humanity is what distinguishes you from the remaining animals and what truly distinguishes you is not the brain alone, as it is an evolutionary result that other animals possess even if it is at a rudimentary level. What truly distinguishes you is the unbiased and genuine altruism that you can acquire, with which you are counted as humans.
You discover your honor and your humanity when you take responsibility for a poor one and an orphan to whom you are not related, despite your need for the money. You discover them when you give without waiting for a future return. I call you to building the human within you, I call you to killing the “I”, and to the slogan of “my neighbor comes before my self,” and “the city next to me comes before my own,” like Muhammad the Messenger of God PBUHAP, the Imams PBUT and the prophets PBUT said, “The neighbor is first, the poor one is first, the orphan is first and the widow is first.” And I call you to neglecting what those people call you to, as they unfortunately call you to taking Satan as a role model, he who said, “my self comes first”, along with its attachments such as my city comes first or my province comes first. Those people call you to being a personification of His saying, {So when they were insolent about that which they had been forbidden, We said to them, “Be apes, despised.”} Surat al-Araf (The Heights) 7: 166.
Those people, with their ignorance and slogans, destroy humans. And if the human is destroyed, he cannot be a producer or a beneficial and efficient element in a sound social life. Rather, he becomes a ticking bomb that waits for its time or the right opportunity to spread its poison among others.
And this is the reality that people live in today. Unfortunately, a lot of thieves and corrupt workers are victims of these people and their slogans and corrupt role model. The rational person must realize that even a luxurious worldly society cannot be acquired through those people, not to mention that he will lose the hereafter by following them.
