Light or Darkness

"I keep hearing 'guns don't kill people, people kill people' well, if we are being like that actually, it's the bullets that kill people. In the mean time, if in fact people kill people, should we just get rid of all the people to save the guns???" - Lakietha Elliot

     Hatchets don't kill people. You don't see knives uprising and stabbing unsuspecting citizens. People stab people, people shoot people, people kill people. It sounds about right to say we should get rid of the people to save the sharp utensils, the guns, and everything else on this planet. It seems everything we create begins to wither and become tainted. Just poof us out of existence and the balance of nature will be restored. All the problems of humanity will be solved. No more deaths, no more epidemics. There will be no more poverty, no hunger or debt. Animals will thrive and the environment will return to its rightful throne. But we can't just poof away. There would be no love, no laughter. Romance would be dead. Smiles of families and friends would vanish. Humanity and all of its goodness and light would cease to exist. The question is, which weighs more? The darkness or light of humanity?
