Ants

Silly ants? No. Silly humans and maybe silly ants. So egotistical and naive to think we are the grand creation. We live in a world where there is hope to sell as many people on the idea that they actually have all the answers. If they are unable to find an answer nowadays it is assumed that well, someone must know it. Of course, this person must be wiser if they have the answer in mind. Who knows how much cognitive dissonance leaks out of those who assume they could know everything if they wanted to, after all, a grand creation would hold the key. What If someone who has not been deemed successful had the answer to their question? They are simply not seen as wiser than the one who asks, but merely, an uneducated soul. They want you to give into your limits. They want them to seep through to all who accept them in order to kill learning and thrive their tools to enslave. We must have belief of one's self over open belief itself. To be imaginative you must let your mind conjure all the possibilities. Considering it all, willing to learn, and your mind becomes an open feed to the energy of the evolution of thought. To continuously learn you must be open to everything that may hold the possibility of truth. How do you know that ant isn't your God, spying on you from the throne? How can you possibly think you understand the difference between the microscopic to the non-comprehensive? We are but an organic spec to the dominance of these barriers, though they securely hold us to these realms. We must soar past it and realize that we are not alone. Next time you see someone looking down on those ants with their horrifying sense of might, remind them, someone may be looking down on us with a sure tale of remarkable power in it's true form. We must diminish our false sense of power and give way to sincerity to one another and allow ourselves to pick at each others brains in the hopes we learn as much as we can from this life to the next test. I like to think that you may have started as a simple drop in the ocean and then you were set free into the eye of another. And then a plant and then you died and so on until you found yourself here today. Finally graduated to a human. Perhaps it was the other way around and you have to learn what it feels like to go from the top all the way to the bottom. Again and again until you learn what you're suppose to. And then, you will be allowed to go home.
