[color="#cc8899"]The vast majority of people on this planet are sheep/monkies/lemmings. They see, they do. They hear, they repeat. They touch, they reproduce. Anything they see done they imitate.
The better part of the minority of people are wolves. They prey on the sheep, exploit them, manipulate them. They see easy targets and utilize them to whatever end profits them.
Finally, we have an infinitely shrinking number of people on this planet that are human. They have compassion, they give aid, they share, but are smart enough to not fall into the traps that the sheep do. They may even attempt to spare them, but they rarely are able to do much. While none are perfect, and most if not all will lapse occasionally into wolf-like behavior, most regret it and will attempt to make amends for what they've done. The wolves do not possess this distinct quality.
Sheep and wolves may very rarely evolve and become human. Some experience, some mentor, some factor may allow them to become what is both thinking and feeling, but the odds are stacked against them. Sheep are too blinded by the abuse of the wolves. The wolves are too blinded by greed and selfishness. And the humans ultimately can do little more than pick up the pieces when the rest of the world falls apart.
