After Hurricane IKE...
Thanks to that powerful force that planned our lives from the time when we were only singular particles in space to the time when those particles became swimming trilobites and then eventually walking, talking, contradictory beings of immense good, undeniable pleasure, maddening pain and despicable evil. Most of us in Galveston County survived the attack of the gargantuan whirling Tasmanian Devil known as Hurricane Ike.
We had six feet of water downstairs, ruined stuff, (A few pieces of art, power tools, golf clubs...etc.) and tree devastation...AND no power for almost two weeks. That's when I read a bunch of books and created quite a few pieces of art.---WELL-after the many days of endless cleaning up and making our house liveable again.
BUT I have had enough of the hurricane and this blog isn't about that terrible negative force that we survived. This blog is about observations.
I was thinking about cheetahs the other day. I thought about people in the same way. We have slow running people, fast running people, and some medium running people. So I thought---I have never seen a slow cheetah. That's when I knew that all cheetahs are FAST. That maybe all cheetahs are just that, cheetahs..Maybe all people aren't really all the same species.
All cheetahs chase smaller animals and kill them and then eat them. All cheetahs do the same things. All people do not. Some people kill other people, most people do not. All people are different, most are crazy. I think that when people started mixing the different kinds of people that odd things started to go wrong.
I was thinking that it's too late now because, as people we used to be many different species, but now everybody is too mixed and interbred. Sort of like mixing cheetahs and lions or cheetahs and tigers...some of them would be slow and some would be strong and some would have spots and some would have stripes.
That's when the big idea really illuminated in front of my eyes---We have many different species of people---that's why we have thousands of languages---Cheetahs all have the same language but if a cheetah and a tiger got together and had a Chee-Ger would it have the non-retractable claws of a cheetah or retractible claws like a tiger and it wouldn't understand the low growls of a cheetah or the mighty roar of the tiger.
Since everyone wants ALL people to be ONE SPECIES now---the best way to make that happen is to get rid of all the DIFFERENT languages and PICK just ONE--so that we can understand everybody. People ar emore like dogs than cheetahs. The pure bred dogs have all the problems, health and deformity...but Mutts, like all people are mixed, a melting pot of dog breeds like the melting pot of people on the planet. They say mutts are the smartest dogs and make the best companions. So if we aren't cheetahs we are mutts and as mutts we should be smarter. That means:--this is the lesson I learned from my observations of cheetahs---Education is the most important aspect of civilization and for the best to come out of the human race to survive and save our planet from pure devastation by crazy people.
The more educated the more we climb away from violent nature and from our lowest evils within us, lust, greed, jealousy, theft, etc.
Education and higher intelligence is more important than religion, politics, money, sex, and whatever else you could name, even Cheetahs know that if they aren't FAST they don't eat...they die.
