The more substantial question is what are we essentially doing in the so called modern and a very happening world? Aren’t we still travelling and exploring worlds unknown, still controlling the same fire in those high tech rocket engines? Aren’t we building amazing tools even now? Aren’t we writing stories to be read by generations to come? Are we not taming the genome of plants and animals? Is it not that we continue to find new ways of communicating through satellites and glass screen wireless gadgets and haven’t we claimed many species of the world forever? After these many years of evolution, how many things can you count that we do and those great spirits didn’t.
The great learned community of the world claims that we are innovative. Am I blinded by lack of sleep that I can’t see even one basic difference in what those holy spirits used to do and what we are doing? We are so unwise that we can’t even break free the chains of those superstitious stories they framed us in, to teach us about wisdom. Somehow, we got jealous of those heroes who paved our way to a world which we contoured with barbed wires. So jealous that we destroyed the forests, the wild spirits, the rivers they sung and enchanted songs about.
The only thing they were trying to do was survive. They will. We will. If out of curiosity, you want to search for answer to the question “what is the difference between them and us?” Ask me and I would say go ahead and search how big you want your world to be?
