Consummation Proclamation
Then man was made, so man could create machines. Are machines the greatest egocentrism of mankind. Are we a race that's been smart enough to create something like ourselves, so we don't have to continue doing things we should be doing? Is there another level above machines to reach?
Combative new strains of viruses, and skin eating bacteria. While rare, it seems as though life is constantly fighting itself. Is that the nature of life? Just a constant struggle to maintain it? If so, what is the benefit? What is it all for, and what is it we are meant to find out? Wouldn't it be cruel if it was a simple as what it is. Such great knowledge, and the beauty of life, for the simple fact of just being? We feel we're better than that.
I know my last post my have seemed a little humanly racial, but it is the good that's naturally inside humans that makes me wonder for the next day, while the ignorance (including myself) at times makes me long for the train wreck in the morning. Why? Why are we making more of ourselves with no idea what we're building for? It feels natural, and good. While the sheer number of individuals makes it hard for the social construct to keep order. It's like the warden living in the nut house. Trying to keep order while living amongst the wolves. It would be nice if good prevailed more often, and people just tried to do good things. But human nature isn't built like that.
I was consummated during a rare snowy evening, in the fall chill of October 1977. And the machine continues to hum.

-beautiful,beo.
Awwww, thanks Still!:)
Lou Barlow once said,
There's a life
we've been living through.
You think you're all alone.
That's not quite true.
No one cares
because no one should.
Everything you see
was meant to be
misunderstood.
That pretty much sums up everything.
Yeah S, that really does. Thank you Mr. Barlow.
Beo I read about it! Crazy! I'm horrified of sharks! So much that I don't go into the water at the beach, also I don't like sand:) Plus you have good advice.
Thanks Katie. Watch out for thurston if he hits the waves!:)
What a great way of looking at it. Maybe we are just supposed to be.
I can't help but feel that man has a destiny. Maybe not individuals, but mankind as a species. We are all cogs in the machine.
Maybe Sylvana, but why do I have this helpless feeling when I read the news every morning. Maybe that's my problem Stro', maybe I should stop reading the paper.
