The Musk Ox

The human race is amazing. We are such gluttons for doom. And violent. When we can't get along, we fight and kill each other instead of using our most dominant attribute-our intelligence. We spend trillions of dollars making things that kill people, we eat/engineer food that's horrible for us, we watch and listen to stupid entertainment that rots our brains, we make most of our choices based on our own personal convenience regardless of the impact on others and our environment, we pump ourselves full of drugs for every little physical ailment even when some of these things can be solved by simply making better choices...etc...

To top it all off, we spend most of our lives preparing for our destiny after we die. I'm not here to debate the existence of Gods and the afterlife-there are much wiser folks than me to do that. But so many people forget about the simple beauty of being alive: looking into someone's eyes, petting an animal, watching a baby laugh, eating delicious food, being in love, listening to music, playing sports, taking a photogragh, telling stories... just watching the world pass by. So much suffering, confusion, cruelty, fear, pain, injustice...it's enough to make someone go nuts with frustration.

We are just barely in control. The earth and the universe are "alive and well and living in"...think of the planet as a Musk Ox...when there are too many flies, it simply shakes it's ass and gets rid of some of them.





Au revoir!
