the misuse of hands

if i didn’t love my gal so much, i would open the door and walk out.  humans suck.  they think they’re special because they walk on two legs and have opposable thumbs.  they even think that these physical features have made their brains bigger.  give me a f—ing break.  if thumbs are so special, why are hands so destructive?  why are hands used to kill?  it takes an index finger to pull a trigger, but that finger needs a thumb to hold an AR-15.  God gave cats four legs so we can run fast.  God gave us claws so we can mark our territory, climb trees, catch food, and defend ourselves.  but there’s not a cat alive who would use those claws to hurt for the sake of hurting.  i suppose God knew better than to give people claws because God knew they would misuse them.

i know i’m sticking my nose into human business, but i’d really like some answers.  why do so many humans think they are superior to other humans?  why do so many humans think they have a right to own weapons?  why aren’t those clawless hands used to help people?  why aren’t those clawless hands used to solve problems?  why aren’t those clawless hands used for good instead of evil?

i’m keeping my eyes on those kids in florida that are talking back after the massacre at their school.   in spite of the horror, they’re using their hands for good.  they’re putting their hands to work to demand that elected officials stop their stupid prayers and do something constructive.  those kids don’t have claws, but they do have hands that stir up hope, and those are hands worth having.
