On Fragility and Freedom

The concept that we have some kind of permanence - some sort of "right" to be here on the Earth and that therefore anything which upsets this construct is somehow 'bad' - is a concept which has come from spurious Christian theology. If you question theology; something everyone SHOULD do; you come to realise that there is nothing special enough about we humans to preclude us from being terribly disadvantaged within our lifetimes. Just as animals suffer, become extinct, get eaten or die in drought, flood or fire, lose babies, become leaders of groups or lose power within one....so do we. We are not so superior a species that we are uniquely favoured by a Creator being. If this preposterous idea of favouritism which the mainstream religions erroneously propose WAS true, then there should be no reason for this being to 'test' our faith with the constant abjections we all suffer. It's not a test. It's what all animals go through. The 'wild ones' expect it.....we do not. Why? Because deep down we expect to be 'saved'.

I do not hold with the idea of a Creator. I do not hold with the idea of superiority. I know we are the same as any creature on this planet. We live, and die, by our wits. If we lack wit, and a certain amount of bravery, we do not experience life in the way we could....which is to say, we cannot live the way a truly FREE creature of the Earth does. You can postulate upon your superior abilities, whilst slaving for money that is squandered on useless consumerables, and making yourselves feel righteous every Sunday [or Saturday if you are even stupider] because you sit on your fat bums listening to some university graduate talk about fantasy for an hour and a half. How ridiculous. Do you not realise how fragile we are, how fragile it all is? How quickly everything you have built around you crumbles and ceases to be? Live like the free creature of the world you truly are. Revel in the moments you have to experience all there is to experience....and stop being afraid!
