“Where Has Yesterday Humans Gone?”

Trust is a rear commodity, highly scarce nowadays. It is hard to find if it still exist anywhere waiting to be found.

We human worry about many historic things being extinct, and that many might join them. At times, what we worry about are beyond our control.

Yet, even the ones under our control has eluded us too.

Trust under our control has gone AWOL too. It has gone extinct. Not as result of human action but humans themselves. The specie of humans with that quality no longer exist. They have morphed into creatures that now seek what was once part of their humanity outside themselves. Funny.

They form group in every level of their society fighting against climate change. Spent billions of dollars educating themselves on the causes and dangers of their certain actions for generations to come, they fail to realized that if they as humans can quell one of their specie from extinction, there would be no need to spend time, money and strength educating their kind that are not equipped to save themselves let alone the climate.

Nothing like trust anymore in any level and areas of their existence. Family, school, religion, government, local and international organizations etc.

The story in is the same in race and status. They kept betraying themselves. Forming open and secret alliances here and there. Governments and their citizens, teachers and students, family members, religious leaders and their faithfuls, etc.

The same scarce trust was in surplus supply in the past decades and was taken for granted. Even among conspirators then, it was in surplus supply.

Ever heard of honor being among thieves?

It was them, not anymore.

These days, it double crossing among thieves, failed coups and few that even succeeded were as result of betrayed trust. Promises to oneself is not even honor anymore. If I kept betraying myself, is it you that would escape my traitorous behaviors?

Not actually that I don’t like myself, for sure I do but, I can’t just help it. What I don’t want to do is what I found myself doing and those I want to do I found so much appalling.

We want to save climate. It is good, Noble thing to do. But let save ourselves first before we are gone entirely. Let try to save those remnants of our species that still possess that trait call trust that still exist. If we can and I think we can, only then can diseases, climate change, wars and evil ambitions becomes history.

Fallible humans are fallibly fucked in the head, heart and soul that it seems as a lost battle to save them and planet.

Any group endeavors needs trust as essential elements. When leaders would spent billions to gather in one big hall and arrive at a decision after lengthy time none has intention of keeping, honoring, why gather in the first place, why point fingers, why the shouting, why demonstrate, why spent resources to deceive ourselves?

So, who then is going to bail this Cat?

The leaders that should have known better, don’t Know anymore what trust, truth, justice and what being a gentleman really is these days. They would affix anything from signature to stamp on any agreement before them without intention of seeing it through.

Species that spend sleepless nights, money, time and strength seeking for a way to eliminate themselves secretly, is it climate that would bother them?

They are steeling themselves and practicing genocide on some race, and tribes and you want these creatures and you expect them to start worrying about future which they seriously and selfishly believed won’t have them in it.

A creature that can virus humans, is it climate they can’t virus? Why cop26 in the name of climate when it is to haunt your perceived enemies at close range. Maybe, they even talk in coded languages. If not, how can all of would go home and start implementing the opposite of the agreement?

Trust is never two a penny commodity, it is built on actions with sincerity not deceitful words. And the trait is what this specie of humans don’t have anymore.

It is gang formings these days. Secret and deadly ones for that matter. Some full of history hatred and others already made excuses to backup their actions.
