time for reflection
Sep. 21st, 2006 07:40 pmI wrote this back in Nov of ’02, but thought I would share it.
The ego of mankind once made him think the Earth was the center, that everything revolved around this small planet. Eventually of course, he was proven wrong. Just as man is not the center, Earth is not the center. It is simply another piece, a part of the whole. Then somewhere along the line man became lonely so he created God(s); someone to watch over him, protect him from the harshness of reality. That is enough for some, but in this technological society today it is not enough for all. So some are searching for more life, something out there. Shooting themselves into space to explore. Like Columbus proving the Earth was round and discovering new land and new people. Yet when (if) someone finds life will they again be like Columbus and force their views on the new-found [people] and therefore kill off another life? Create more just like us and have to search again for something new? Just keep searching until there is nothing left.
( some new thoughts/rant on this )
