Did you ever wonder.......
If there are birds out there, afraid of heights?
If fish can drown? (thanks Shawn)
If some monkeys can't climb trees?
Why cats always land on their feet?
A billion things, I wonder about, as I aimlessly walk amongst the other half- alive people out there. I often wonder why we think we are the superior species of this planet. I mean for all our intelligence and technology, which is an accomplishment, are we really getting it? By getting it, I mean, what this life is all about? I feel as if somewhere along the line we became to smart for our own good. Or maybe we're not smart enough to really comprehend the power we can weild as one great civilization. I mean shit, a only ten thousand years ago we were berry pickin, mammoth huntin, uncivilized morons. In the grand scheme of things, thats not very long when you consider the process of our development and the billions of years our planet has been around. Only in the last hundred years have we invented all this wonderful technology that makes us superior. Thats the time equivilant,.... of the exact amount of time,... it takes for your brain.... to realize..... you just sharted. If you compare it to the time span of our evolutionary ladder.
And I also wonder that if we are the only species (supposedly) on the planet that has emotions; can that really be a good thing? We only seem to use them to fester up the worst in our society. Is it that we all just stopped paying attention to them? Figured, hell we don't need 'em? Or are we so cynical and jaded and greedy that we only pay attention to the really nasty ones that boil up from the bowels of our worst inner selves? Or am I just crazy, and bored, with too much time on my hands? :)
