The Ant on stage.. what is it all about ??
Do ants think ? can they ? maybe not .. can they feel ?? hunger, danger, importance.. well.. maybe..
Here is a setting..
Theater stage is built for a big play , can be Shakespeare, Lohengrin or Broadway ..
Stairs , doors , tables .. etc
Many participated in building it, carpenters , designers etc.. many others are acting .. singing .. playing music .. sound effects .. lights effects ..
Now.... To he point : Here is an imaginary ant...........
It can think (or does it ?) and , somehow, managed to be and survive on that stage for its whole lifetime.. (The average lifespan of an ant is 45 days.) during the play season..
Audience .. many of them attend the play .. it was great .. the initial deal was to play for 2 years.. they extended it to 6 years..
The Ant thinks: All this people are here for me .. including stage builders, actors, musicians etc .. It is all about me...
Well ... Its life ended after 45 days.. the show went on .. as if nothing happened.
We certainly all agree that the ant should know better (or think better) ....
but .. is that really Sarcasm!!! ..
Isn't that what human is all about ?
In the past , before knowledge, during the "infancy" of our kind, human tend to feel it is all about him/her.. food , water ,caves, legs (to run away from predators). eyes .. etc ....
Genetically speaking .. evolution made those feelings into the genetic code .. we call it survival .. survival is the manifestation of (IT IS ALL ABOUT ME) ..
If you were told that you need operation to remove your appendix you might not sleep the night. following news is different , News about Tsunami in Indonesia killed 300 thousand people is just a piece of information you hear while having snack and drink.
We are -genetically- creatures of (it is all about me). We all FEEL it deep down .. but is it justified to behave accordingly ??
everything finishes when we die (if you don't agree .. name your religion. stop reading. thanks).
Take the universe as our stage (if that's too hard .. reduce it to earth only .. it is good enough)
A human (non-existent for millions of years) is born one day .. lives for some time .. and back to non-existent for the rest of time.
It happens on a planet that was, is, and always will be, full of similar creatures ..
in a solar system million times bigger than the planet
in a galaxy that has billion of solar systems
in a universe that has billions of galaxies ..
depressing .. ? nevertheless .. it is what it is.. and that's it. our importance is less of that of the ant.
True that death is end of life.. not end of memories for very few ..
we can still think of few people, who did something we remember, read about , see , hear and feel ..
But people (like I) belong to the vast majority, with no particular skills .. no achievements .etc .. we will end up in unnamed tomb somewhere on earth.
BTW: Outstanding people will get "better" tombs... that's about it ..
Do we really want to spend our survival time THINKING: it is all about me .. !!!!
The universe is not created by a god, who had any of us in mind, while creating it......
UFOs are not there to kidnap and experiment on us. they are NOT THERE at all. .....
Thinking that somebody is unusually powerful, has super power and can influence anybody else by any metaphysical mean..... then logically, he/she should choose to influence a president, a powerful person or somebody of importance, or manipulate the stock market to make himself rich etc.. got the point????
Leaving all of that, and practicing his power on me (mr. or ms nobody) , can only mean : either he/she is an idiot....or I am..
(nobodies) Feelings, thoughts (if any) leading to actions (or no action) , will make differences to people around them and they should be careful if they care (or can care) .. that's about it .. there are 7-8 billion others who don't give a damn.
The ignorant Ant did nothing at all ..and didn't know any better ..
We did nothing of importance .. Shouldn't we at least try to know a bit better??
