Subject: [K-list] amoeba
From: Michael Read

I was thinking just awhile ago how we humans are very much like
amoebas. We tend to act and react to our environment without thinking.

I don't know if amoebas have religion or philosophy. Ah, what if an
amoeba started to think about its place in the vast universe. Of
course an amoebas universe may be no larger that a drop of water.
Would that amoeba feel terror or joyful awe for the inconcievable
beauty that surrounded it? Who knows! :-)

Perhaps amoebas have decided that there is a god who is controlling
thier lives. They may even think that they are somehow created in the
image of this god. Do you suppose that amoebas would go to war with
each other over thier beliefs? Who knows. :-)

Perhaps when a human comes down with amoebic dysentary it is just a
side effect of amoebic holy wars. Then we take some medicine and wipe
out entire microscopic civilizations. Hmmm. Would the survivors huddle
up and call it the will of god?

Nope, I don't see much difference between human beings and amoebic
beings. We are born, have a dramatic life, then disappear. And a 100
or a 1,000 or a 1,000,000 years from now what difference will it have
made?

Well, please excuse all this silly chatter.

Love yourself and take care of each other.

Instead of punching out your 'enemy' what would be wrong with buying
him or her a cup of tea and a biscuit instead? You ever wonder what
wars would be like if they were not fought with guns? What if we
'overcame' our 'enemy' with kindness and generosity instead?

Well, there I go being silly again! :-o

Loveya - Michael
