Dolphins and whales know how to talk to each other, inter-species communication, yet humans cannot even talk to one another within their own species! So, remind me again who the ’superiour’ species is on this planet… and who is it that is destroying the world? …The superiour species?! Well then what is so superiour about them after all? Humans are fumbling, stupid fools… look how they treat their young compared to how other animals treat their young. …So remind me once again, who is the superiour species on this planet? …The one who cannot communicate, even with its own young, or the one who can easily communicate with other entirely different species?
Here’s the short story of two whales stranded on a beach in New Zealand who were led to safety by a dolphin: http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/2/hi/asia-pacific/7291501.stm

The above link shows one small example of a bird evaluating a situation, and making a logical deduction on how to solve the problem, then solving it, all within just a couple of minutes! Humans love to think of animals as robots or automata who don’t use logic, don’t reason, just act ‘out of pure instincts’ that are ‘programmed’ like mechanical objects. As long as humans think that, it is easy for them to cause mass-destruction to nature.

Hmmm…so remind me again why it is that hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars are spent saving babies around the world, just so that when they grow up, they can breed more just like themselves, all with ravaging, voracious appetites, all for nothing except to eat more and more species into extinction. Where is the logic in that? The planet simply cannot feed all of these ever-breeding people any longer.
Here’s the reality of the situation with Blue Fin Tuna:
Fastest Fish in the Ocean, Speeding Towards Extinction
Humans generally have their priorities backwards, completely backwards. The idea that humans are more valuable than any other life-form on this planet is the line of (psychopathic) thought that will turn this planet into a wasteland; an ugly, empty, wasteland desperately trying to fill the haunting hollowness with flashing neon lights and roller-coaster rides. But none of the glitter and pseudo-glamour will ever suffice; once the Beauty of diverse life on this planet is destroyed, it cannot be reversed; it will be permanent damage.

OK, wait a second, let me get this straight: This is a KNOWN migratory path for the endangered species, the humpack whale, yet people are allowed to obstruct the whales’ swimming path with mazes of ropes and nets used to trap crabs?! WTF?!?! The article above says that was the ONLY whale ever saved in the San Francisco area (apparently because a fisherman saw it dying and alerted the appropriate people who were able to respond in time to save its life) which makes me wonder: just how many whales are NOT saved because they get stuck in those stupid fucking crab traps?! Humans will certainly destroy everything on this planet in their blind greed. Those who put their best effort into reversing the damage being done on a grand scale at best only slow the inevitable destruction of all life on this planet because there are too few who care against billions who don’t care at all, as long as they get their next shiny new object at the expense of life itself. Humans do not deserve to live on this planet and they will get what they deserve in time, unfortunately they will kill everything else in the process of their own destruction, and that is the greatest tragedy of all time.

“Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. He who looks outside dreams. He who looks inside awakens.”
- Carl Gustav Jung
Jung’s thought reminds me of the ancient Heraclitean maxim:

“Cut quarrels out of literature, and you will have very little history or drama or fiction or epic poetry left.”

The want of logic annoys. Too much logic bores. Life eludes logic, and everything that logic alone constructs remains artificial and forced.

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
