We are mere glorified ants.

The worry warts of the world are the ones that anticipate things going wrong. They tend to be pessimists. Thinking that if the worst can happen, it’s bound to happen. They are doomsayers. I gotta admit, though, they are entertaining. Many politicians are that way. The Tea Party crowd, for instance. They think America is going to hell. But for the wrong reasons. Such as spending too much money on social services. They want to cut spending for virtually everything but national defense. And they’d cut taxes for the richest. Millionaires and billionaires. They surmise that’ll solve all of our problems. That money will trickle down to the less fortunate. But they probably know better. And it’s all a big bamboozle. If they really believe it, they have to be world class idiots. But then, I’m of the notion that we humans are one of the lower forms of life in the cosmos. That we are being observed by advanced civilizations. That look at us in pretty much the same manner as we humans look at ants. No sense in even trying to communicate. Because we so-called human earthlings can’t grasp the true nature of life and reality. We are mere glorified ants. Stupid. To the point of engaging in politics and tea parties in futile attempts to solve our woes. –Jim Broede
