The Host and the Parasite

As the inevitable progression of technology presses on, the world is becoming ever more chaotic. We humans are a virus on Earth. Think about it. Every other living thing in nature is at equilibrium; everything is balanced. We are the exception. Over the many years we have evolved into more intelligent creatures, creating new ways to ensure our survival. Wild animals don’t hunt us anymore in the civilized areas of the world, most of us are not starving, and most of us have some form of shelter. Yet, ironically, we have become exceedingly worse off. We have not grown more intelligent, but more foolish. Humans have become both predator and prey. We kill each other off as we ravish the land and pollute it with the blood of our brothers and the dirt of our society. No, we are not a great species…we are severely flawed.

We are destroying the world that provides us with life and nourishment. What kind of world do you want your children to live in? A world where the sun is blocked out from pollution? A world where grass is replaced by concrete and trees start appearing in museums? We’re killing off animals for fashion and for the sick pleasure it gives some. We’re putting so many chemicals into our bodies and into our environment that food actually has to be marked as organic. This is ridiculous.

What’s the real reason the world is being destroyed? Money. Commerce is ruining our environment. Oil companies are charging $3 a gallon, but are making billions of dollars a year. So I ask you, why do they charge so much? Short answer – they’re greedy, capitalist, selfish scum. It’s not as though our government doesn’t benefit from oil sales either. We can create bombs that can destroy the Earth, but we can’t find an alternate fuel source? It’s not that they can’t, they just don’t want to. They want the money. If cars ran on water and emitted CLEAN waste products who would be making money? No one and that’s the problem. The government isn’t happy unless they’re making money off you somehow. They can tell you anything in the world, and it’ll be a lie. Bill Maher put it best when he said “Be more cynical.” Why are people clubbing baby seals for their fur? To make money? At what? $30 to sell your soul? Is it even worth it? I wouldn't do it for any amount of money so how fucked up do you have to be to do it for $30? To see what I’m actually talking about, go watch a PETA video. You won’t see baby seals getting killed hopefully, but you will unfortunately see animal cruelty at it’s worse. It enrages you in such a way that feelings of violence creep into your head more than just once.

So what is the message of this post? It’s that we, as human beings, have serious issues and we need to repair all the damage we’ve caused or we all have big problems. We need to stop killing each other in pointless wars over land and oil. No, the land isn’t yours because you can’t own it. You can't pack it up and take it with you when you move. It’s not something to be owned. It’s something to be respected and treated with care. If we took care of the land, the land would take care of us. So stop claiming everything is yours because you have a piece of paper from the government stating it’s yours. It’s not yours, it’s no ones to claim. Who does the land belong to? Nature. And as long as you care for and tend the land, nature will allow you to stay on that land for many years. A nuclear war almost broke out between India and Pakistan over a small piece of land called Kashmir. They both thought they had claim, so instead of conversing about it and negotiating about it, they decided it would be easier to just blow each other’s countries up. If the UN hadn’t gotten involved, who knows what would be going on right now, but we would all be affected.

People are so dependent on oil that if gas went up to $5 a gallon they’d still pay. Why? They’re addicted and addiction is a dangerous game. Though this is less true in nations other than the US as I know some European countries mainly use bicycles and public transportation to get from place to place. Also the citizens are more likely to ride bicycles than to repudiate the notion.

If it makes you feel better go ahead and murder the Earth and everything living on it. That will solve all your problems; just make sure you pay for therapy afterwards.
