evolution, planet
Tuesday, January 11th, 2022 05:12 pmRandom thought:
It could be argued that humans aren't the pinnacle of evolution on earth, but rather the one branch of evolution here which so far has turned out very very badly.
(in terms of damaging the planet and wiping out other species, causing destruction, pain, and death, etc.)
Context of thought:
Bright yellow sun setting towards the far end of the street as I walk back from the mailbox,
a small airplane flying from that direction, catching my eye so that I follow it as it slowly curves towards the north,
a small flock of birds also flying by overheard, chirping, towards the north,
(me thinking of how carefree the birds seem).
Why the birds flew north, I don't know. Probably not going far in that direction.
