Amazing the harmony in nature, one reason why I believe we don´t originate from the earth, but that´s another story.
Most people are ok together, but there´s always some bad apple who wants to control, damage and hurt others for some reason.
Is this the difference between humans and animals, or do the Piranhas just kill the one who goes against the grain before it can influence and damage the harmony?

You...don't believe we evolved from other animals...?
I think the problem with humans is there are a lot of things we want, and not enough to go around, that's the problem with all animals, but with animals it's usually just a case of everyone having enough food.
With us, it's more complex, but if everyone's happy/satisfied, we'd be in harmony too.

But even people who have a lot, people who one would consider comfortable go berserk kill other people and top themselves for some odd reason.
The human race is unstable in a constant battle between the animal in us from whence we eveolved and the alien bits which were added to the mixture so we could become more advanced and intelligent. A dangerous mixture

Hmm. Well yes, Humans are by far extremely animalistic, but I'm not so sure about the alien bit. I do believe that we did indeed evolve from something, gaining more intelligence and what not. To be honest, we aren't that intelligent at all, granted, we have a coherent language and can do things such as read, write, and do math, at our basic instinct though we are know better than animals themselves.
I don't think I need to post sources to prove my point, look at any number of things, the fact that we invade and conquer and murder each other is enough to show our animalistic side "marking our territory".
None of this is related to Alex Jones' but I think we are more animal than anything else, just, as you said, in nature there is harmony but even then I think your pirhana example works the best...
However, there are examples of animals behaving wildly as well, homicides happen everywhere just humans do it on a larger scale because we have more means, ie guns.
I never said i don't believe we can love one another. We're bound by our emotions, though. Whether or not animals have emotions they don't live by them. If we were unable to love one another we would most likely be living like any other animal herd, relying on instinct.
Elephants may not harm one another on the scale that humans harm each other but Elephants don't look out for the weakest in herd like humans do.
