The older I get the less I understand or wonder if I ever did understand about the human species and life in general. We humans are complicated creatures compared to other animal species. Take my cats for instance, they just want to eat, sleep, prowl around and to some degree think they can control the humans in their life. Us humans want to take control of our environment in order to accommodate our needs. In that process we usually destroy, alter and infringe some form of harm on our fellow humans and other animal species in the name of greed as we destroy the environment around us.
Where I live in the country it becomes very dark when there is no moon and the universe of stars becomes so visible that it boggles my mind to look at the heavens above. Lately I learned if I could travel at the speed of light I would never make it through our Milky Way galaxy in my life time. Just to ponder that puts me in my place realizing how little I know or maybe want to know. Maybe my cats have a better life.
