289. The 'Apartheid' that lies at the essence of Life.

Stat VIEWS @ 19,453

Life is built on telling things apart. Without it, nothing can be defined. Any 'growing, living, existing creature,' that can't tell things apart becomes easy prey to those who do. This is the basic Law of Nature!

   =================================================================================

   
   

   Like no other species ever before, Homo Sapiens - 'Human Being' - is rapidly changing that essential equilibrium. Living in our cities and suburbs, we are spreading like a non-stoppable virus, taking the law of nature in our own hands, re-interpreting and re-shaping it, as if we are superior, to suit our reigning God-possessed super-human selves. Smooth concrete pavement replaces soil; artificial chemicals - all for convenience and speed. Head-strong, our over-sized brains are running us in to a quick extinction. We are indeed the Selfish Gene!    

   
   

   But somehow the 'Apartheid' continues. Though we can go to the moon, mentally and spiritually, we have gained NOTHING!  

   
   

   WHY is this? 

   
   

   I think it is because each of us, at least those of 'us' in the developed world, feel we belong to the untouchable hordes that live, well fed and taken care of by whatever systems we are allowing to govern over us.  

   
   

   We are not the Wildebeest or Zebra that can become prey to the lioness. We are mostly ahead now of our Natural Enemies. Our 'Apartheid' has become a leisurely and affordable nothing-better-to-do aimless pre-occupation with differentiating ourselves from our neighbouring fellow-humans.
   
   Somehow, deep down in our primal cortex we have been unable to conquer that discriminatory, natural field, that final frontier in our search for superiority and Godliness.  Deep down we have retained that killing instinct. And it will now become our demise.
   
   Unless we become ONE and alike, a whole and single Unit of Homo Sapiens Erectus, to bond and collectively realize we are in a big mess, we will indeed continue our quickly deteriorating spiral towards annihilation, while bringing even more species to grow down and out with us.
   
   And when Armageddon is fully upon us, visiting aliens will scantily find any trace of us.
   
   Happy Nirvana dreams to all ....:)>
