Musings....

Timolee Chalamet's characters prayer was truly poignant though wasn't it. Quite beautiful. And that's from someone who's not religious.
Because it just made me ponder on the blip of existence that our species is, has been, are.
Having come so far evolutionarily, elapsing 100,000's of years growing, developing, learning, progressing, becoming more, branching out. An expansive scope of historical significance, innumerable tribes, towns, cities, societies, nations, emassing around the planet. To ever continent.

I often (and still mostly) have come to think/feel/view our species negatively. A toxic one. Selfish, greedy, lazy. Poisoning our homes, lands, our whole planet. Despite such evolution, we seem utterly unable to live in harmony with this beautiful earth. It seems, in evolving from animals, we lost that inate quality of harmonious planetary existence. Like almost all animals have.
And yet, unfairly so, it's in our careless reckless hands that their fate, and the fate of those most vulnerable sits. As we continue to ignore science, and selfishly continue killing our planet, before we finally receive our much deserved brutal blow into extinction, we'll have taken all other species existence well before us.

But anyway, I remiss. His prayer just made me ponder and remark on the fascinating reign that has been homosapiens. Countless have lived and died, raised families, lived full and varied lives. So many, meaning so much to each of them.
And yet, our reach has been restricted to our primary celestilal body. Our planet is the furthest reach of our influence, involvement, and legacy. But beyond this planet, there's a massive ever expanding void of space. Potentially inhabited elsewhere by other forms of life.
In the grand scope of all of the cosmos, our existence will be nothing. A mere blip.
Knowing that despite all of our hopes, myths, and prayers, all of our lives on a cosmic sense,are meaningless.

Realising all that, and thinking about the highly plausible instance of any of this enormous galaxies pieces of rock, finding itself heading towards our beautiful blue planet. If it's big enough (which countless of them are), and it's able to hit countless right spots around the world, then we're all done. That's it. Our mark on this universe is gone. Erased. Removed.
.....Just had me pondering....


Bacteria will still survive though.... Will give evolutiong life another shot.... And one can only hope, whatever intelligent life comes next.... They're able to do a much better job at it
