The problem with people is ...

 I was reading the Daily Office this morning. Genesis 9, the myth of Noah and his sons.

The fear and dread of you shall rest on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the air, on everything that creeps on the ground, and on all the fish of the sea; into your hand they are delivered. Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; and just as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.

It hit me like a ton of bricks! Here's the first problem with people. In a word: Domination.

Human beings spread fear and dread. Every animal. Every bird. Everything creepy crawly. Every fish. We dominate, kill, eat. 

Here's the second problem.

Be fruitful and multiply, abound on the earth and multiply in it.

In four words: too many of us. The planet cannot long sustain life as we know it if we keep growing. 

Bit of a mess.
