Like most dogs he teaches me a great deal...even though the teachings can be quite boring. For instance, it often appears this animal "thinks" of nothing but food. I suppose this drive to eat is among the most basic elements of life, but he really can become annoying about this. Obviously humans have this same drive, but how much has it evolved as the art of food gathering has progressed? My dog has no rational assurance there will be a next meal for him, no matter how he devotes himself to my every whim. We used to live like that too, evolution tells us. But now with the grocery store and the fridge, why are North Americans seemingly unable to get some control on appetite? If our inventive technological skills don't balance with our basic instincts, are we in danger of extinction?
[link] PS If you wrote this entry in 2004 Swanny, do we think we have been doing any better 3 years later? 11 Aug 2007 @ 09:27 by swanny : well... well no but I think it was a visionary statement that applies to now and maybe only to me. I think then I must have wrote it for myself and or others who are perhaps somewhat discouraged by the world of now though. So its like the past coming not to haunt me but to encourage me. I guess the me of the past maybe or maybe not "knew" I might need this. Funny thing is I wrote and published it here in the Confere in 2004 and found it through a google search of "destiny". I don't even recall writing it very well. Strange beast this internet.
