The bite of
a killer. Not human. Nor the victim.
A spider
attacks a bee. They're not human, but neither from Mars. All the movies show
Martians as monsters. But the truth is, we have enough monsters on Earth to
showcase a different species every day – each more terrifying than the last.
Earth's monsters are frightening. There are no monsters on Earth. But if there
are, then there are. (A common Spanish saying, but it leaves some doubt about
confirmation.)
Biological
life – cruel life.
Our way of
filling ourselves with energy and supplying nutrients to our cells is the most
primitive and unimaginable cruel thing. A small fish is eaten by a slightly
larger one, and that fish is eaten by a bigger one... and so the food chain –
or chain of being eaten – continues.
It's not
very intelligent. In fact, it's stupid. Evolution is intelligent. I have no
doubt about that. But the beginning of life wasn't a planned creation but a
failure – at least here on Earth. Surely every creature would say, before a
fierce bite ends its life: "Cursed be the day of creation." The methods of killing are innumerable: Claw
grips. Bites with two-inch-long, sharp teeth. The pressure of an anaconda
viper. A lethal injection through a tooth or other pulsing instrument.
Swallowed alive. A virus kills you slowly. Others just suck blood.
Who is God?
Where was
He when this mode of life was invented?
Man, the
crown of evolution? What are plants?
Just plants? Or intelligent forms?
I believe
so. They don't kill each other. They observe one another, communicate. They
feel joy and fear.
We're
already what we are, but can we at least stop fighting like animals?
With proper
logistics, there would be food for everyone.
And it
shouldn't surprise us if one day we find beings less aggressive – and probably
more intelligent – than us on another planet!
