Wonderfully stated.
Each person is a colony not an individual-
without bacteria we could not process what
sustains us. Evolution has incorporated
a blind design -- I just read what makes mad cow
disease might also make us retain our memory.(prions)
I am in the cheerleading section not fully
understanding the intricacy of science down
below on the playing field. I am rooting for
all of you rather than having hopes and dreams
in an arcane belief system that controls society.
Enjoy everyday. Learn- I learn more in these days than
my time in school-- we are just starting to give
average everyday folk like myself the ability to
expand almost freely their horizon.
Even a decade ago the talk we have now would be on
a very small scale, there is evolution in our social
conscious. The more we know the less we harbor doubt
and superstition - and yet since I am railing for
education reform, I know that experience beats idealism
constantly. The setbacks are only a matter of time.
In the quantitative world we can only qualify a tiny
portion and rely on instinct, intuition, hope and emotions
to guide us with the rest. So in a way no matter who
we say we think we are, we are no better than the
social tribesman trying to make a better life for
his/her family in a closed
social, economic circle in the middle
of what ever might be foreign to us.
If it isn't SARS or HIV or this flu, something
else will take its place including our own
righteousness and stupidity which would
eliminate a percentage of population without
judging the quality of the individual, the numbers
is all that matters. (Sustaining quantitatively)
When it is so that this world would be without
humans, the world would go on existing. Even
when the sun expands and takes this planet,
the elements go on creating another entity.
This is a beautiful place and time to be in-
too bad we cannot convey it to all to see
that we have more things in common than in
disagreement. Break it down to a molecular level,
we are just soup still brewing.
Reminds me of my dad, he's getting up there
but everyday he is outside in his beautiful immaculate
yard. He doesn't see the beauty in the flowers my
mom loves to show, he is looking for that weed,
the ones most natural or virile, that diminishes
his little world.
And I do read about and discuss rapidly, readily spreading
avian flu and the implications of integrating
vertically as well as horizontally those mutations,
the worst fear is of course migratory patterns of animals
including us which is the means to disaster.
How many diseases were given that path and until it occurs
the reaction to enable control becomes a reality,
either rationally (science and medicine) or irrationally (belief and
superstition)-- who's left will go on and archeologists
later will be examining the fragments and agreeing 'if'
they only did this or that would all of the pain and
suffering could of been minimized or avoided.
We see it everyday when our little world gets a weed. |
