The most decent thing to do.

I assume that creation is teeming with life. All sorts of life. Intelligence far, far beyond human intelligence. With a far better grasp of reality than we humans. Yes, we’d like to think of ourselves as the highest form of life. As if we were gifts from god. But what if we are one of the lower forms of life? I don’t discount that. It’s a possibility. And it’s my fervent wish, too. I want creation to abound with truly intelligent life. Life that makes humans look like nincompoops. In comparison. Because if we humans are the best that god can create – well, that makes him a real loser. I suspect that many humans sense this. That we innately know that we are relatively inferior beings. That’s why we create the notion of god. We acknowledge that we are helpless. And that we need a mighty assist from a higher life in order to survive. We want to prolong our lives. Because it’s pleasant to feel alive. And especially to feel in love. Therefore, we create a god of love. We tend to worship whatever pleases us. Outside forces. That we can’t fully explain. Because it’s beyond mere human comprehension. Thing is, though, that many of us don’t know how to love. Because we are too stupid. That’s why we do dumb things. Stupid things. Such as playing politics. And going to war. And ruining our planet. Yes, we are in the midst of destroying ourselves. And maybe that’s just as well. Because the decent thing, the best and most noble thing we humans could do, would be to go away. And allow truly intelligent life to prevail. –Jim Broede
