Theme Of Humanity In The Grapes Of Wrath
We walk a fine line between man’s desire to gain riches versus our sympathetic tendencies and
want to help other people. Fame, power, land, riches, good-looking women, what else could a
man want in his life?! Sometimes we lose what makes, and keeps, us human. Our sympathy and
desire to help others, people and animals alike, is one thing that separates us from common
mammals and other creatures. Humanity’s fight of the goodness of man versus his greed for
power and riches is the main topic of The Grapes of Wrath. Some well-off people will sit back
and watch others starve before they’d lift a finger to help; some people who have nearly nothing
would give everything just to help a stranger for no reason besides personal drive, but …show more content…
We are a result of what is and was
around us. Humans are little more than input/output machines with a twist of genetics. Someone
may be kind because they were raised that way but they might just be following protocol. They
might just think that a struggling person is a place to help but have absolutely no sympathetic
values whatsoever. Psychopaths have no sympathetic feelings towards anyone or anything and
aren’t a functioning member of society, but everyone has psychopathic qualities, so what does
that say about us? Many people who aren’t psychopaths aren’t functioning members of society
either. They're called predators, they prey on the backs of the weak, poor, less-fortunate or
anyone they can really. When someone uses another human as a stepping stone or a tool it shows
what we’re capable of and why we should be more afraid of other humans than just about any
other thing on his earth.
Although there is bad and wrong everywhere in this world, there is good and right also. Human
kind has helped others like us countless times throughout history. Good things are usually …show more content…
They just
pass by and although we may notice them, we usually don’t take full enlightenment by them. We
need to learn to appreciate the little things in life; too much weight is put on large sums of things
or a giant plus. When in reality, the small things pass us by every minute and give us nearly no
joy at all.
Yin and Yang, perfect balance, is what the world needs to function properly and humanely. Will
the world ever experience perfect balance? Man has got to work on improving its relationship
with itself and its surroundings. Because if we only take care of ourselves and nothing around us,
it’s the same as any men who only looked to better themselves, and we’ll only be making the
future worse for everyone. Man will have to look after more than just itself in order to achieve
perfect Yin and Yang. We will have to look after everyone and everything around us so that we
can all live in harmony in a conducive environment to the growth of humans and the world as a
whole. We have to create our future in the way that we see most beneficial to the perfect balance
that we should be trying to live in. we can make this world perfect, but only if we work as
