These
morning walks, followed by regular coffees with Drej are fast becoming my
favorite social pastime. They are very real, mind, as often stuff happens
during that is quite unpleasant – on one side a pair of crows fighting for half
an hour and on the other a pair of poorly mannered teens watching a recording
of their weekend party on their cheap phone at full volume – can be quite
fucking off-putting. But coffees before us and a gentleman smoking a pipe
behind us can be perfect. And then we talk, a lot :D
Today we
talked about animals at first, about how hunters shot a bear today who ventured
too close to the village and how that pisses some people off. Personally I
think each and every one of these noisy people has never even seen a beat in
their life and knows nothing about animal behavior or is speaking purely out of
their arse, because a) Yes, we do impose on their territory and all animals
always impose on others territory and you will never see a bear meet a wolf,
because that’s blatant provocation. Bears know very well not to come close to
people. If they continue to do so, it’s dangerous. Usually for a reason. B) If
you had a garden and a bear kept coming
over, would you be the one to move? No. So until you are in that position,
please don’t speak so generally. And c) before people started shooting bears,
and other animals, there were just as many deaths by some other incredibly unpleasant
factors (no, despite popular belief, before people arrived the world was not a
shiny happy garden of Eden where all animals lived in harmony, devoid of illness
and famine). Natural predators were just one of them. A lot more animals that
are otherwise now shot by hunters, died of rabies, parasites, infections and
starvation, as they were left behind by their pack for genetic deformation reasons.
So please, people, before you start being loud about these conflicts, you are
most welcomed to join the executive boards and propose a more fitting solutions
for both parties. Hopefully a world in which we are all healthy and happy and
each have an ideal living ground. Deal?
But that
was just one part of the debate. The other was about life on other planets and
Ridley Scott’s good description of the situation his ill-fated heroes find
themselves in the latest movie. Looking for civilized life, running into some
very uncivilized behavior. Read the post above on how we should behave should
aliens ever come to visit us:
