The Experiment

The truth is this, as evident as the butt of a baboon: 

It’s All An Experiment

Ever get the feeling that no one understands you?  That you don’t understand anyone?  That the whole world seems to operate on some sort of plane, different than yours?  That’s not a feeling, you dimwit, that’s the first coherent and intelligent thought you have ever had.

Probably the only one, too.

It’s All An Experiment

“Earth”, as you call it, is a petri dish.  A lab experiment.  A reaction of chemicals made up by beings that wanted to see what would happen if – to put it in terms you can understand – you put a human into a microwave and hit ‘Start’.  What would happen if you put a human being into an environment that they are not suited for, and kept exposing them and exposing them to outside influences?  What would happen if you put a human being into an environment and told them they had “free will”?  What would happen if they believed it?

It’s a simple premise, really. 

Mind you, our intentions were honorable.  Purely scientific in nature.  We were rooting for you.  To show our faith in the experiment, we provided you with the mantra of our home planet.  Translated roughly, it sounds like this:

Be Kind.  Do No Harm.

Without translation, it sounds like this:

Slerch.

This was the only imbedded message we gave you.  Scouts honor.

You guys screwed up.  Big time.

Where to begin?  Where to begin?  Let’s start with War.  This is probably the biggest screw-up in human history.

Morons.  

The lot of you.  You’re blowing each other up, destroying everything that you built and that was given to you, for what?  Money and Power?  You never realized that those things mean nothing.   These things are made-up tinker toys that you created.  These things aren’t tangible.  These things are meaningless.  War after war, over the same thing – and you never learned your lesson.  Not once.  Not one single time.  Money made you hungry and power made you blind.  We watched, astonished. 

We have no word for what it is you do to one another, other than:

Morons

Without translation, it sounds like:

Morons

With that thought in mind, let’s move on to the hatred of differences in your world.  The history of enslaving your fellow human based on flesh tone, the history of hating your fellow human due to geographical location, the history of hating your fellow human based on practices that made you uncomfortable.

Seriously?  Have you seen where you live? Have you seen your human form lately?  In our world, you are all the same.  You live on “Earth”.  This is the dumping ground for all different sorts of bacteria and living organisms.  This is not a compliment, if you haven’t yet caught my drift. 

“Earth” is the end of the road, Jack.  “Earth” is Skid Row, Downtown, Wrong- Side of the Tracks, Down- and-out ain’t-comin-’ back, Jackville.

You all live on Earth.  You are all the same.  You haven’t ever realized this.  You’re all in this together, yet you tear each other apart.

You know what we call people like you, where we come from?  “People like you ,” being a colloquialism from “Earth”:

Morons

One thing leads to another, and we end up with the monetarily disadvantaged, the under-wealthy, those without coin.

All contraptions and devices you made up in order to form some sense of superiority from one another.

How utterly human to create a system that provides a way to track the sale and worthiness of goods (goods that you didn’t create and you don’t own, mind you) - and then revere or revile those who own or don’t own the lot of them.

From our perspective, one is doomed to both succeed and fail, respectively. Those with the most, those who are revered, are more than often NOT the ones who obtained such goods to begin with.  Those with the most just know how to keep the most. 

Those with the least, those who are reviled, are the ones who are locked out of obtaining more.  Well, at least more than those who are revered want them to have.

We have a saying for those on your planet that are deemed the “haves” and “have nots”.  Unfortunately, it can’t be translated without the use of words that are deemed “inappropriate”.

We’ll end our review with the highlight of all subjects.  The most hot-button subject of all.  The subject that has torn the Earth apart since the beginning of time:

Religion

On Earth, some are believers in a religion, some don’t believe in anything at all.  Some are intense believers, and some are not.  There are many different religions on “Earth” - most of which carry a standard theme of love, faith, and tolerance.

We are not here to determine what religion comes from the Creator.  We are not here to determine if there is a Creator.  We are not here to determine if any religion is right.  We are not here to determine if any religion is wrong.

We are here to tell you that, as members of “Earth”, you are universally wrong when it comes to the execution of religion.

Religion is the set of ideals that you follow to do right.  These ideals can be structured in to a formal religion.  These ideals can be personal to your own organism.  These ideals might not be a religion at all.  The root of all of this is to follow what is right. 

Humans fight in the name of religion.  Kill in the name of religion.  Die in the name of religion.

As a whole, humans have yet to understand what true religion actually is.

We watch our experiment, as it went from infancy to adulthood.  We have had proud moments.  We can’t say that we haven’t.

Like any Ant Farm, we have seen numerous leaders emerge, some just and some unjust.  We have seen the little ant rise, we have seen the mighty ant fall.

What is universally true.  What occurs without a doubt in every generation of our experiment, is this:

No one remains a ruler forever.

Wars are very rarely fought with altruistic intentions.

There is nothing more rewarding than human kindness.

No one learns from their past mistakes.
