Silly Little Rant

Ranting about humans in relation to monkeys and how I believe that everything is one larger organism.

I know a lot of people out there, hate it when people start ranting, but other folk's find it pretty **** hilarious! So to all those people out there who enjoy a good rant, I'm here to give it to you.

First, let's try to find ourselves a topic. Well, today I listened to a very funny Spoken Word rant that was about humans. Humans were referred to as "monkey's" in this little S.W., and I found the entire thing VERY amusing. Now, what I feel like ranting about is the fact that humans really are just as limited as monkey's in a sense. Here, let me attempt to prove my point.

Let's look at the bigger picture here. We are tiny microscopic organisms within this giant thing we call the Universe. We aren't the smallest thing's of course, but there's some **** way bigger then us! Look at all the tiny organisms living in, and on us. Look at Earth, it's an organism which sustains us! We humans are parasite's leeching off of poor old Earth, like a sickness just because we don't know how to control our own selfish greed.

Now zoom out a bit. Earth is a part of a solar system, which in a way, functions like an organism. Each individual piece is responsible for its own actions and if one piece strays away from it's set path, then everything goes out of balance! Whether the other planets are literally alive or not, doesn't stop it from playing a crucial role in the way thing's work for us. Solar system goes whacky, Earth shifts away from it's original orbit, we suffer catastrophic weather changes, all die, yada yada.

Back to the organism thing though, zooming out again, we see a galaxy. The Milky Way. This galaxy is like a larger organism, with all the individual planets and stars within it, playing their own crucial roles in making what the galaxy is. One slight mistake can cause a huge chain reaction that can either help, or hurt it. (A lot like the food chain on earth, huh?)

Zooming out again, we see the freaking Universe! And we have all heard the theory that the Universe is constantly expanding ever since the "Big Bang" and it`ll never stop, and etc etc etc. Well then this constantly growing organism is certainly exactly that. A constantly growing organism. Is there another organism seperate from that one, that could have possibly "created" it like a parent? Hell, if it was it's "parent" then there would be two other organism's!

Looking at the bigger picture, we can see that the Universe is a lot like you and I. We are constantly growing organism's with a bunch of tinier organism's living within us, completely unaware of our self-awareness and awareness of them.

Now you might be thinking, "This guy isn't ranting, he's just explaining his opinion about something he thinks maybe not all of us understand." Well that's pretty much what ranting is in a sense. Just with a lot less no-talky. So I wanna explain now how this makes me think we are all like monkey's.

Look at a real monkey. Pretty average animal, just a bit more... Aware, of specific things. We call that intelligence. Look at us. Same **** thing. An average animal, just more aware of specific thing's. We are not any different from normal animals until you realize we don't just try to survive, we try to enjoy surviving. And personally, I think we are miserably failing. We are no smarter then monkey's because although they may be doing their silly monkey thing's, their still surviving. While we on the other hand, are doing our silly human things, and still surviving. Looking at it at a basic level, we aren't much different. We just consider ourselves so amazing cause we have the urge to feel proud of ourselves and powerful, and yada yada. This feelings are so strong within us, that they control us, and deem is entirely irrational! We aren't even benefiting ourselves anymore. It's clear to see, we are on our way to self-destruction. Yes, a lot of people are doing great things trying to figure out how to fix our mistakes, but c`mon, do you think think all the damage we have done will be fixed by only the idea's of that small portion of people? More people are littering these days instead of going to the local park and cleaning it up, just cause they believe it's the right thing to do.

Hell, I think the monkey's are more responsible then we are! If we are so smart then why are we doing such stupid thing's like bombing each other, killing each other over paper and metal we give the title "money" too, ORDER IS CHAOS! The immaturity of the human mind is almost incomprehensible...

If any of you agree, go ahead and agree, if you disagree, your entitled to your opinion. I'm not expecting feedback, nor any positive attention from this silly first-attempt rant that only ended in angering me.

But hey, I don't wanna finish this off on a bad note with you all, so I will share a bit of kindness. Just because humans have done so many stupid things, doesn't mean we don't have the ability to all come together like the brother's and sister's we truelly are, and make thing's a bit more peachy.

I'm just 17, so what do I know about anything right?

Mate, you hit the nail on the head. We as a species are quite literally parasites.
