I see that more and more every day from what is going on outside.
And while that seems fascinating I remind myself that is a very bad sign for this planet.
That means, to me, that right and wrong are no longer valid consequences in the activity being staged around me.
Staged by whom? The planet. Animal versus animal.
Oh, sure, from an animal versus animal standpoint, we human beings would lose the war in about one hour, just for sake of a round number.
Some invisible bug would mutate around the world one minute and infect the majority of the humans beings breathing the air and that's all she wrote.
So I don't think that is the concept I am sensing. Another thought is about the cats suddenly turning into zombies and sure, we could beat them off and with a few causalities on our side.
But what if the dogs turned zombie-against-humans? We could kick them too but we would probably take a lot more causalities.
If the cattle turned zombie-against-humans then that would be bad too but they are easier to hide from. Cows can't operate elevators, for example.
What I think I am seeing is that all animal life on this planet is being subjected to some kind of force of nature. Cats and dogs and parakeets, for example, have no tools for building a defense against some kind of extinction-level event. You only have to watch certain movies to know that. Human beings are the only species capable of mounting a defense against some kind of yet-identified plague so if we lose then we lose not just the human race but we lose the battle for all the other lifeforms on this planet.
At some point in the future, those of us who have figured out how to survive, and who were probably people who felt they were already animals living as zoo exhibits, will begin to struggle with surviving. After a few years, more or less for some of us, we will forget about how bad people really are on this planet and we will forget about how people really went out of their way to make life difficult for us and for other people. After a while, after years of enjoying real privacy, possibly for the first time for some of the survivors, then we will begin to comprehend how much life did not get the chance to escape from this planet.
