   Hi, guys.
 I want to know what each of you thinks of such a comparison. We say, humanity is a brotherhood. Do you agree? Well, a family may not only be an ideal society living according to the rules of
love, as we know. Siblings like to fight) But in th end…are we going to live in peace happily ever after? 
  Just interersted in your opinions. Thanks in advance.
                                                                   Yours, M.

We can go to this problem on the next hand: all depends on your native country.As for Russia: everybody thinks about onself,everybody wants to "snip off" the the biggest bit,

& I can't say, that our nation is ONE BIG FAMILY. But I think, there is another situation in Europe & USA….

Ceguya, u know what? The scientists proved genetically that all the people living on the Earth relate t each other not further than 14-lined relations =)
 And about the instinct i wanna say, that a human is leaded by the instincts only (s)he is an animal. Do u suppose yourself to be one? Me not, sorry.

  Not the humankind is eager to destroy itself. There are certain people who earn money on people fighting.   And by rotten i mean keeping your soul. Though i agree that was quite a strong statement.
