I was thinking tonight and wanted to put some things in perspective.
we are some of the most interesting beings on the planet because we never truly get the whole picture.
think about it. since the beginning of time, we've evolved as a species into the creatures we've become today. nobody thinks that we are going to continue evolving. everyone just thinks that we're going to stay put as the perfect beings that we are.
except that makes no sense. why would we stop evolving at the point we are now? look at all the survival issues people have throughout the world. it is absolutely survival of the fittest. people have health problems all over the world. does anyone really thing that we are the absolute peak of evolutionary perfection? that sounds pretty pretentious seeing as we've only been on this planet for the smallest fraction of it's massive time-line. humans have done some cool things, but things are going to change. we don't have the capacity to live forever. we aren't even the oldest species on the world today. what makes us better? because we're the smartest?
yeah, so far.
but we weren't always. man developed from ape, which developed from another lesser creature. we weren't always the most intelligent life form on the planet.
what makes us think we will be from now on?
we also never think about how drastically the land ownership between countries will shift throughout the years. Humans are territorial like none other. and they will wipe out millions of their own species to gain territory. even on the local level, people are trading living spaces all the time. we create bonds and clubs and groups of friends that hang around each other and talk shit about other groups of people.
we all do it.
everything around us shall constantly change. religions and belief systems will die out ad grow again. one day, the mega-religion of Christianity may tumble alongside the Egyptian and Norse gods. no one will ever have the same belief system, and therefore belief systems will never stop developing. alliances that are formed now shall dissolve. new treaties will form. new countries will be created. new developments in the human body will form.
we are not done evolving as a species. we will either become greater, or we will become extinct. the way things are going, i think it's likely that we will wipe ourselves out before anyone gets superpowers.
how many other animals in the universe kill each other for pleasure in the mass amounts that we do? how many living things are we willing to wipe out so we can live comfortably on the top of the food chain?
new presidents will lead, but in all honesty, this land we are living on, will be here after America becomes something else.
it is absurd to think that one of the puniest superpowers in human history is going to be the last one to have all the power.
things have been changing forever. why the hell would they stop now?
please add to this thought. i would polish it but it's 2. I'm tired. and i need opened minds.
