evolution

Where are we now? where do we go from here? is it even possible for us to go anywhere at all from here...? there are so many questions and hardly any answers, these questions belong to "that" category...

when i was a kid, I asked my mom on many occasions, "what is the universe contained in?"..

I always wondered..I mean, we all know the structure of the hierarchy untill we reach the universe..whats outside that? where is the universe in the grand scheme of things..?

my mom always told me, dont ask those questions, there are no answers, they will drive you mad ultimately..thanks to her I was saved from many a headache in my earlier days..

In one of the books I started writing, I wrote, in the farthest corner, of the largest hall in the highest tower of the biggest palace, there stood a pedestal, and upon this was placed a globe. On a closer look into the globe one could see the universes existing in all their glory, upon a closer inspection one might be able to make out the galaxies, and their residents, the various star systems and so on..

I suppose this was in a way, my own version of the way things might exist outside the boundaries of our knowledge..

many races have come and gone before us, and many will do so again once we are gone..

the dinosaurs, got killed by some meteor something, or so the stories go..

when our time comes, I wonder what it will be due to..I have a feeling that it wont be due to any natural calamity, its more likely that we will end up slaughtering each other in an all out war..things appear to be leading up to that..

there has always been the concept of, survival of the fittest which has in turn called for evolution, if you dont evolve chances are that you are not gonna make it too far..humans have stopped evolving, somewhere along the way when we became too complacent with the things we had brought into existence. We told ourselves, "we have TV, the internet, heck I can do anything I want on this tiny cell phone" we became convinced of our arrival at a non existent evolutionary pinnacle..

we then went on to say "Why do I need to listen to my neighbors talk, or my relatives? its all so mundane, that talk show host has so many more interesting things to say....I am absolutely dying to find out which celebrity slept with which other celebrity.." and thus we cut all the social ties that used to be so necessary for our combined journey down the evolutionary path..

now, the world comes packaged to you, on the back cover you can see the various channels that are available, and you can also see the EULA, which you have to agree to before you can live,

a few terms and conditions are

1. you will become materialistic and care for no one but yourself

2.you will not be social

3.you will lie to yourself about everything your instinct is telling you untill your instinct learns to accept what your eyes see

4. you will not gather knowledge

and so on..

but no one cares, I mean, the packing is glossy and attractive, and if you follow the EULA, you're ok right? A few of us can see...and we are horrified by what mankind has become..

If only we could get a second chance at this...we might do a better job, no guarantees though..

weird post, but i dont really care..
