As if two jobs and as much photography as I can possibly squeeze in wasn't enough, I thoroughly enjoy writing short stories. Creative writing. Though my style may not be to the liking of some people, as it's blunt and often from the dark side of humanity. But I don't write for other people. I write for my own pleasure and to maintain good mental health. Here is a sample for you.
Here lies the remains of a species known as "Humanity". The "Homo Sapiens" or the "Homo" with many other suffixes, i.e. "Homo Erectus", "Homo Ludens", etc.
The fact that everything was based on the genus "Homo", was an early indication of where it was all going to end. Anything based on "Man" is doomed from the outset. In those very few little pockets of their society where "Femina" was prevelent, society in general prospered a lot more. The "Homo" had bigger brains in general, simply because they tended to be suffering from morbid obesity, but despite the bigger brains, "Homo" didn't tend to use it very well, or develope it to any particularly useful extent. The "Femina", despite their physically smaller size, tended to have well developed brains that we're used on a daily basis, to much greater benefit than when the "Homo" came grunting in and pushed "Femina" aside in attempt to demonstrate his ill perceived "dominance".
Compared to other animal species that started developing some six million years ago, the "Homo" stumbled right out of the gate. One can speculate that this stumble made him hit the ground really hard, bang his head on a rock and that his brain was permanently concussioned due to the impact, hence "Homo" was never able to use it to it's full potential henceforth. An example of this, would be that where other animal species would kill only for food and procreation - which all comes down to one, single word; survival - the "Homo" would start killing for any of an excruciatingly long list of reasons, without one single one of those reasons having anything whatsoever to do with survival. Just to name of few (very few) of the "reasons to kill" on Homo's list: Sex, money, power, greed, jealousy, fame, noteriety, anger, pride, colour (an absurd concept they developed early), background, ethnicity, vanity, disagreement and the big one; religion (another concept they invented and that completely short-circuted their already malfunctioning brains).
Whenever Homo felt either himself or his ill perceived "superiority" threattened, his first and near-instant reaction was the kill whatever perceived threat he believed was in front of him, even if he hadn't identified the threat, hence couldn't be sure it was a threat at all. The mere theoretical chance that this could become a threat, was enough that he saw it nessecary to kill it. This delusional state of mind persisted throught the existance of the human species, when it was Homo who was in charge.
Femina, on the other hand, who'd gone through the birth of both Homos and other Feminas, hence was the one who maintained the human species, had a well developed brain and saw the aburdity in getting the human beings she'd given birth to, into situations where they would either get themselves killed or would kill others. Homos developed a name for this concept they created; "war". Together with "religion", those two concepts - both developed by Homo - would put the entire Human species on the fast-track to self-destruction. Wherever Homo was in charge, there would soon be chaos, dissent and disintegration. In those few and isolated pockets of the planet where Femina was in charge, there would generally be peace, respect and prosperity. Femina recongnized the absurdity in war, and would go to great lengths to avoid it. Homo, on the other hand, would jump on every chance he got to show his perceived "glorious masculinity". But where Femina saw the absurdity in war, unfortunately neither of them saw the absurdity of religion, hence religion became the main catalyst of war.
In a lame attempt to justify the concept of religion, humanity came up with such concepts as "heaven" and "hell", but if you asked them, nobody was ever able to define those concepts. Those human beings who rejected the conepts of religion, primarily did so because to them, "heaven" and "hell" was nothing but a state of mind, ill perceived in a brain that was damaged right from the outset. The tendency of religion to instigate war, murder, oppression and worse, was another - and very powerful - reason so many humans rejected it. Unfortunately, again, the ill perceived notion of "superiority" that the religious people held, caused the eradication of millions of others and as mentioned earlier, it had absolutely nothing to do with survival. Simply a result of the malfunctioning human brain.
So as we gather here today, let's celebrate what little good there was, though doomed from the beginning. Let's forget about "progress" becoming "regress", because humanity never recognized their insignificance in relation to the planet on which they lived. When they slowly started to come to their senses, which is no small part was due to the actions of Femina, it was already too late. Let's celebrate what they got right. Things like.....like, ehm......ehm......Well, there must have been somehting they got right, right?
Anyway! Another Dinosaur has come and gone extinct. Not as a result of celestial collisions, but as a result of self-destruction due to the way they lived, and the fact that it was primarily Homo who was making the big decions that really mattered. Decisions that virtually all became their detriment.
Now we can all go back to the oceans again, and start all over. Because humanity has alway been, and will always be, utterly insignificant in the greater scheme of things, especially with Homo's inability to use his brains to its full potential. Maybe in another six million years, we'll get another chance. One can only hope that we have actually learned something by then. But chances are slim. But if I was a betting guy, I know where I would put my money. I would put every penny I had on Femina.
