Illusory Freedom
“…Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.”-Carl Sagan.
If there is only one thing that humanity has to learn, that would be the superior power of compliance with natural laws. Human species have never had any true freedom. Freedom is illusion. When it comes to the order of nature, either you align or you suffer.
So, who are we, homo sapiens, a branch of great monkeys, the source of all problems on the Earth, the reason behind dramatic changes of environment, evil governors undertaking the role of the God? When a monkey looks into the mirror he sees a monkey. When a man looks into the mirror he sees superiority and independence. Why? Albert Camus would have the right answer for it, “ Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.” I believe that, religious we are or not, we all think, that we are the children of God, who creates and rules the world by his own will, and we, as his prototype, are capable to resubmit and challenge his choices. No one is more superior and higher than humans, none other creature. We don’t think of the world, as it’s our temporary residence for a certain amount of time, and we are the guests here, we rather think we are the creators of all that inhabits the Earth, a center of Universe.
Humanity lives by the rule of a “second chance”, which I consider to be one of the greatest mistakes in all the history of relationships between humans and nature and one of the biggest hypocritical assumption that can ever be made by the most rational creatures of the planet, that has been rooted very deep and practiced throughout the modern time in the most frequent pace. The “second chance” rule has been created for the mercy of human’s vanity and ignorance. Take
