Blue Planet – Transitory Host of Organisms

I had a dream last week that made me shiver and I tried to dismiss it as an imprint from one of those fantasy-filled movies. This apocalyptic film seemed vivid in the few minutes it played out in the privacy of my own sleeping mind. 

A beautiful planet was magnificently being displayed like a nature documentary. People were seen on an icy landscape preparing to feast on sushi and plants and other types of food. Viewing down from the sky, silhouettes of giant fish were seen swimming around the people. An eerie feeling came on as the table may literally be turned in the next few scenes and the people will become the meal.

In a planet being depleted of natural resources by humans who are not able to satisfy themselves with any amount of organic properties, the strange theory of how other organisms are probably getting hungry from the overt consumption may not be far-fetched. Other living things will need to feed on what is available on the planet. Like dinosaurs, humans may be the next organic fuel for future residents of the blue planet. As they kill each other, as viruses and bacteria overcome their weakened immune system, and as they become more mentally irrational, as the weather pattern changes and poisoned waters affect food supply, human beings are being broken down just like any other organism. The planet will find a way to keep the balance of life; with less humans, more trees and animals will be replenished. Time is on its side.

Perhaps, those who are experimenting with the possibility of traveling to another planet can see this coming. It might be time to relocate or at least move away from the things that break down the human organism. Each individual will need to stop looking for a savior or a leader or a partner to make the lifesaving decisions.  They may need to consider how to give up being greedy, to give up hurting other humans, to give up the mental suffering by being kinder to themselves. 

Non-human entities do not care about financial wealth status; they compete for organic sources of food in order to do their part in the circle of life community . People who live the simple life of living within their means and taking what they need from the land and giving back by planting and sharing may be the heroes in the end of this dark theory. Co-existing responsibly with other organisms in this great blue planet may be the best sequel for humanity.

From a Native American book, I remember reading how to be a responsible ancestor. Many cultures pay respect to their ancestors. I have this short, temporary time on the blue home planet. I want to gift the future my organic self, which I have cared for by keeping it as clean as I can from harmful thoughts and practices. It’s not perfect, but I will try to endure. I want to live well and to sleep eternally well.
