Bought this motion picture for 5 euro........not bad from a 2009 movie, showing our predicament so clearly.
Why humanity did not choose to be self sufficient, take only the needed?
That rabbit hole goes down deep, an internal affair, a corrupt alien predatory parasite that gave us our internal dialogue that gives us only the world as we know it, but an island in an infinite ocean.........

We are not that stupid, our true nature is pretty much ok, but no excuse nor judgement for everyone above a certain age, that of free choice, to follow your heart of petty reason.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitism

Parasitism is a non-mutual symbiotic relationship between species, where one species, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other, the host. Traditionally parasite referred primarily to organisms visible to the naked eye, or macroparasites (typically protozoa and helminths). Parasite now includes microparasites, which are typically smaller, such as viruses and bacteria.[1] Some examples of parasites include the plants mistletoe and cuscuta, and animals such as hookworms.

Unlike predators, parasites do not kill their host, are generally much smaller than their host, and will often live in or on their host for an extended period. Both are special cases of consumer-resource interactions.[2] Parasites show a high degree of specialization, and reproduce at a faster rate than their hosts. Classic examples of parasitism include interactions between vertebrate hosts and tapeworms, flukes, the Plasmodium species, and fleas. Parasitism differs from the parasitoid relationship because parasitoids generally kill their hosts.[3][4]

Parasites reduce host biological fitness by general or specialized pathology, such as parasitic castration and impairment of secondary sex characteristics, to the modification of host behavior. Parasites increase their fitness by exploiting hosts for resources necessary for their survival, e.g. food, water, heat, habitat, and transmission. Although parasitism applies unambiguously to many cases, it is part of a continuum of types of interactions between species, rather than an exclusive category. In many cases, it is difficult to demonstrate that the host is harmed. In others, there may be no apparent specialization on the part of the parasite, or the interaction between the organisms may be short-lived.
