People Are Strange

 

Have you noticed? We, as a species, are unique. Most animals on this blue marble just want to eat, drink, roam and mate. We all are born and we all die, but only the homo sapiens want to fly to the moon.

We are the ones who worship some unknown deity. We are the ones who invented fossil fueled vehicles to take our family to the beach or the mountains for vacation. We invented electricity. We invented computers. We invented cell phones. We invented religion. We invented bad haircuts. We created rock and roll. We created mood rings and pet rocks. We created platform shoes. We created high heels. We smoked cigarettes. We wore clothing. We went into the ground to dig coal in tunnels. We flew balloons. We made art. We fought each other in the name of God. We protested abortion while executing prisoners. We created money in hopes of getting rich. We created bigotry. We learned to speak in many different tongues. We cooked food and made the cooking show. We evaluated knowledge to wisdom. We printed books. We buried our dead. We wasted more than we used. We legislated laws to be broken. We enjoyed alcohol to excess. We stumbled into dancing. We created dangerous games and called them sports. We constructed multi-layered houses. We got married. We got divorced. We created weapons to kill. We fought wars to murder our young. We created stress, depression and love. We learned to not trust people who look different. We name other animals we feed. We build statues to honor ourselves. We practice medicine. We perform for each other. We make our opinions known. We listen and learn.

Beware of these people. They are strange.
