[The All,7]
What makes human beings unique amongst most other life on earth is our ability to better our fellow man. Language and invention are clear signs that this is our most specific trait. When chased by a lion, invention gives the advantage in a single lifetime-what would take genes many generations to evolve. If we look at humanity in this way, what makes man most fit-is his ability to make others more fit. Conversely, the least fit man is he who is either unable or unwilling to help others.
Racism and other forms of prejudices stand as a cruel mockery of this truth. To see one as inferior, is to see one that you cannot help rise up. The egoist may find themselves a more fit person, but they do not condemn another as less fit. The racist defaces himself as impotent when it comes to his fellow man for he must say to himself-’I am unable to better this human being’. Perhaps there are many reasons for his belief, but this is the end result. There is no one less fit to serve humanity than one who chooses not to.
