what does it actually mean to live? what does it mean to be happy? And can we even presume to claim to have found answers to questions that the most learned of the human race have been looking for for so long? life ... a strange word. Basically it only describes that a form of life leads an existence that beats your heart, body fluids flow through your veins, it eats and breathes. for an animal it means to live well in order to preserve its kind and to ensure that it continues. we cannot say with certainty that it is so, but animals do not worry about the future, about the past. people do. but why? you might as well ask yourself why I am writing this. if anything, it will be read by a handful of people. if at all, she will think about it for a few minutes and then forget about it. but why am I writing it when it won't change anything anyway?but one question raises another, which is why one could just as well say: why is life geared towards the preservation of species if it cannot change the course of the stars? Isn't it basically the case that we, the people, the animals, nature in itself is just a huge parasite that is constantly gnawing at the earth's crust? many people feel like the masters of the world, they are of the opinion that their life is higher than the life of an animal. but why should that be? why are their livelihoods worth more than those of a moth or a cat. Let's take a fly, just for example. Your memory is, with all due respect, poorly developed. a mayfly can no longer remember how it was born, a few minutes after it peeled itself out of its old larval shell. 0.7 seconds. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think your memory will last as long as a memory is erased to make room for a new one.but does that make them less valuable? humans cannot remember when they were born either. now one has to ask oneself which of the two races would be more important for the existence of nature. Basically you can say that nature would get along quite well without both. like all parasites, nature is quite tough. suppose man disappears from the world: with a little luck and a lot more time, the ecosystem would stabilize again and regain its natural balance. centuries would pass, millennia would pass by. the monuments of the people were decayed, only the eyewitnesses of the egyptians, the pyramids and similar legacies of other peoples would still exist for a certain time. and at some point only the indestructible gold jewelry, like a wedding ring, would testify that there was once a race that made deep wounds in the soul of nature to make its own life easier. that has always been the great flaw of people.everything should be easier, not do more than is necessary. But who am I that I dare to judge others like that? who am i anyway my family knows me by the name christopher, those who read this know me as blade altari. i'm nothing special, i have no outstanding skills that set me apart from the crowd, but still i take the right to judge you on a whim. But isn't it like that, in the same breath with which I judge people, I also judge myself? I accuse people of destroying nature through their selfishness and indifference to nature. But don't I also eat plants that have been "freed" from insects and small animals by toxins? Don't I also eat the meat of animals that bring maximum yields through pharmaceutical products? what makes me believe that I have the right to judge my own people. I don't have this right.but I do not care. I don't care if someone dies somewhere, far away or in the same city. I don't care if a million people were wiped off the face of the world from one second to the other. it wouldn't matter to me. like every other living being, man is also a part of nature. he is neither better nor worse. he is easy. why should i mourn a person more than an animal? the bible says, i hope i am not saying anything wrong, that one day god will destroy the earth and the last judgment will rule over the people. but why does he do that? It is illogical that god, if he exists, is undoubtedly a part of nature, destroying his own life and his "children". that would be unproductive. but what is god anyway? for many he is the almighty redeemer, the creator of the world. but is that the true opinion of these people or just what they were told about when they were children.and I do it again i judge others. and why? i don't believe in god because he never stood by me when i needed him. in my eyes god is just an illusion, the reflection of the human race. and from this point of view, the apocalypse in the name of god may really happen soon. because if god and man, who are two sides of the same medal and the destructive driving force of the only "rational" form of life is not put to an end here, it would be possible that nature would go out with one last rebellion. then where would god be? would he be with us to receive us and lead us into his heavenly kingdom? what would he say to us? what would he say that a single race has wiped out billions of lives in its ridiculously short existence. power is something that people don't get. many want peace in the world. but the only way to achieve this peace is not to destroy all warring races.in this case we should be aware of one thing. there is only one warlike race and that is man. now i have been sitting here for almost exactly half an hour and writing down my thoughts. some will read it. some will get upset about it, feel ripped off by me and despise me for standing by what I think. others will be indifferent. in their eyes i will be just one of many crazy people who still believe in the misconception that they can make the world a better place on their own. but there will also be some who will think about what I have written here. and in this way a small spark will arise that would ignite a fire. but to change a race that counts in the billions, a sun would be necessary. the light of a flame would go down without changing anything. maybe some will ask why i gave this line of thought the name "dardalion". it is basically very simple.I once read a book in which a young priest who betrayed his basic principles in order to help others bore this name. i disagree with many of dardalion's views. but although it sprang from the mind of another author, it too is in a sense alive from the moment we begin to think about it. I hope you will not judge me too harshly, even though I have dragged what many believe in into the mud. but if it should be so and maybe then I deserve it.
maybe.
but maybe not.
