Summary
We thought we were the last, hoped we were the last, because we couldn’t bear the idea of being the only ones this awake and alive in a world as vast as this.
And we died alone.
When the others are born, many, many years later, they find us, everything we left for them.
Humans being the first. Not the strongest or the smartest or the weirdest or the most violent. Just the first.

Summary
"You need food, Rocket. Worse than me. A hell of a lot worse than me, and I'm worried about you. We have water, neither of us are hurt, but both of us will die eventually if we don't eat. And I can hunt down one of those," he said, pointing off into the distance at a four-legged ungulate of some kind, grazing on the tough grass.
"Neither of us have any weapons, genius. You're gonna just run up to it and crack it on the head with a rock?"
"No," Peter said. "I'm gonna run it down and slit its throat."

Summary
Avatar: first movie
"This low gravity’ll make you soft.”
_Colonel Quaritch_ 21:03
The Na’vi find the death of animals sad, judge it unnecessary when humans kill regardless, they don't know our woods.
The Na’vi condemned humans for their brutality, it kept them alive, they don't know our home.
Humans scoff when a Na’vi calls them assassins and killers, we have done worse to ourselves, they don't know.
The Metkayina dive in their seas, they think humans can't swim, they don't know our oceans.
Neytiri, the Omatikaya and the Metkayina all judged humans as killers of their mother… they don't know her killcount.
Gaea is NOT Eywa
Jake never felt the need to excuse his species' actions… a kind of self punishing.

On Terran Loneliness by Bainshie

Summary
Terrans are not the strongest species in the universe. They are not the fastest species. They are most definitely not the smartest. But Terrans are the loneliest, willing to befriend anything that moves and several things that don't.
After humanity nearly made themselves extinct with a "Terran brand oopsie"™, trillions of Terrans awaken from stasis and set themselves upon a Galaxy teeming with alien life, each writing their own story among the stars. Stories of compassion, of anger, of revenge, of justice. Stories of the clever and stories of the downright stupid.
But mostly the story of Terrans looking for the one thing that all beings desire: Friendship amongst a lonely universe.
A half wholesome, half emotionally scaring, half self improvement writing project, half mathematics fail due to there being too many halves. Originally posted and created for /r/HFY
On Terran Diplomacy: A bit about Terrans looking for friends.
