Chapter 0:Prologue

Since the dawn of Humanity, humans have conquered the seas, the lands, and the sky. Anything they can get their hands on they would control. And with that hunger of control oppressors were born who ruled over the land with an iron thumb. Using fear as a means to control their citizens. And using war as a means to get rid of their enemies. This ideology of control and kill was later passed on to their successors who continued this cycle for decades. With their ways only getting more ruthless, people would become more barbaric. Killing their own kin with a smile on their face or watching from afar as people no monsters pushed the limits of sanity. But can you blame them? That's all they've ever known in their lifetime. Fight, kill, repeat. Human history is filled with bloodshed and asking whether that was morally or ethically right is meaningless today. In today's society people aren't fighting each other for their next hunt or for land. Today's people are fighting for equality in a new modern war and throwing words like everyone is equal no matter their social standing which is nonsense. A homeless man and a multi conglomerate billionaire will never be equal and that's the truth. Which one can not accept because they think it's ethically wrong. Even though they know deep down it's the truth. People like to talk about ideals and their morals to shield themselves from that truth but when push comes to shove that's when a person shows their true colors. Which is greed and selfishness. I myself am aware of that selfishness but I would not dare act on it because I just don't have it in me to go against society as a whole. I would rather side with society than be the outcast therefore I am a hypocrite to my own ideology but could that change?
