in all likelihood, you probably wont be coming back

ah, bad television has the best one liners, "that sounds like a tomorrow problem, lets get out of here". love the silliness there. then again, how many times have i thought something similar? im sure plenty. if i stopped and thought about it, im sure i wouldnt be able to think of one instance, but i know there have been a few.

as i was driving home from lunch today, i had a thought: there comes a point in time in almost everyones life that they realize that would be more productive to society if they were dead. its not depression that brings this thought to me, just a realization about the nature of life and the reality of our lives.

life itself is a very fleeting and fragile thing. it has made me wonder on a great many occasions about the nature of its purpose. human beings mainly. everything else seems to have a specific purpose. there appears to be a very obvious balance between life forms. if there is too much of one species that overwhelms its natural predator, then another predator or some other factor comes into play and regulates things or shifts the balance a different direction. granted, this takes some time.

the problem with the blight of humanity is that we have found ways to not just circumvent this natural equalizer but to continue reproducing to point that we arent just going to end up killing ourselves, but the rest of the planet. im not a green advocate or one of those protesting hippies who are always making a big stink about whatever they can to "raise awareness" for they are thinking way too small.

think of the earth as an organism. the equivalent of what they want done is having an animal that is bleeding in thousands of places simultaneously and only having 2 hands and a tissue to stop the bleeding. sure, one of those wounds will be staunched but not before every other wound kills the animal.

drastic times require drastic measures. that is what mankind is missing nowadays. in the ancient times people knew simple things like that. we have grown so complacent in our decadence that the majority of humans cant even recognize that there is a problem, much less think about the sacrifices required to fix it.

i am but one of millions who has an idea about how to fix our situation and yet i have no ability to implement my ideas. and its fine. ill be laughing as the world burns around everyone while people run around frantically praying and begging from the empty skies to know why they have to die for they did nothing wrong. ah, but that is exactly it, they did nothing and that is what they did wrong.

people ask me all the time, "do you really want the world to end?" and i say, "yes". i think its time for earth to reboot itself. time for the human plague to be extinct, buried and salted. it seems so harsh and im constantly asked if i know that i am one of the people who would be dead. obviously i would be gone. at this point, its not about me anymore. its not about any one person. is about all of us. the scourge of earth.
