My name is Shadow-short story

From time immemorial, I have followed everything. From the most insignificant piece or rock or fallen leaf to the greatest, most "evolutionated" living being: humans. Everything acts having an objective, a goal. Plants and trees, for example, look for the sunlight and the water, the things that they need for living; so animals do, and mankind is not an exception. 

I could have focussed on any other item of the existence, but these individuals made me think as any other thing since their beginning. Their intelligence made them like a kind of gods of nature. They burn, steal, catch, pollute, kill and assault everything they want, but, at the same time, they love and take care of many things. They are contradictory, as well as different from each other. They fight and kill among them because of silly reasons. See the war, that disgusting typical human habit. They are selfish and ambitious. Ones have special beliefs and others no. Many are extremists, but, despite their influence, others are not like that and, what is more, they are open minded and try to share the best of them with everyone. Their hate and envy can provoke devastating effects on them, but, over and avove that, I can claim that love is more powerful. It can change a person without limit. It is the best aspect of mankind. Love means understanding, affection, attraction, empathy. Love is care about that special one as something natural, without reward. The reward is his or her company. 

Nevertheless, this special empathy and relation can make us suffer as anything lived before, and, if it ends, it is the worst torture. It is curious, oh, the love. It can create a monster or the best living being under the Sun. There are many ways of love (familiar, frienship, couple...), but the main point is that is the world's engine. So, despite all the bad things of the human kind, there is something worthwhile.

My name is Shadow, and through this long time, I have seen horrible things. Fatal events. I am traumatised. The balance among Bad and Good is very weak. 

Well-behave people is overwhelmed by the bad ones. Big bosses cannot satisfy their greed. They want natural resources but they do not care about global warming, deforestation and endangered animals. They want a great show, and they kill animals or ignore their famous intelligence. If they want money, they will not care the cost. This last aspect is the most dangerous because money is the worst human invention even created. It has caused even slavery and the end of many civilizations. An example? Colonialism.

Never trust a human, because thy are the most unstable and unpredictable race among the others. Every person is different from any other. They are special. Their natural goal of survival has kept on evolutioning on every era. Now, they do not only want to stay alive as the rest of the animal kind do. They need culture, love, ideas, but also goods and cash. Consumerism is an evidence of that. In countless painful cases, their hands are blood stained because of their purposes.

Always on a second plane, I am the most wise existence. I have analized and learned too many things about your world. Natural laws, historical events, psichology, philosophy... Do not underestimate me, and not only me, but everything that you do not pay attention but is like an undiscovered land full of treasures...or danger... Have a nice trip, traveller, and try not to get lost on your way home. It will be full of risks, but I am certain that you will arrive there. Better or worse? That only depens on you. Nevertheless, remember: if you go alone, you may go faster, but, if you go accompanied, you will go further.
