| “The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.” – Bill Watterson The final Blogging Birthday Bastion prompt was to write an entry inspired by the quote above. I've heard this quote a few times in the past but never knew who said. I did a little bit of googling to find a little more on the person it was attributed to. Bill Watterson was the American Cartoonist responsible for the series Calvin and Hobbes. The panel connected with it is listed below. https://scontent-lga3-3.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/69498472_3462378977109172_12352... It makes sense that it makes sense that this quote would come from that type of comic strip. It is really humorous and at the same time has a lot of depth to it. Thinking about it, it a little bit of a jab at the human race as it points out any intelligent race would want to stir clear of us. From a critical standpoint, we have done a lot of really stupid things in our history. It says something that we have the Darwin Awards - basically awards designed to honor people who have killed themselves in incredibly stupid Even looking over the past decade, there is a lot we have to be ashamed about. We been around for thousands of years and we are still fighting with one another. There are wars and conflicts all over. I feel that we have the ability to accomplish but we remain struggling. We also waste a lot of times these days particularly with social media. We have people spending time laughing at things like cat videos or people getting kicked in the groin. We have the knowledge that certain things damage our environment such as pollution and people still ignore the warnings in favor of convenience. We have the knowledge that certain things damage our health such as smoking, alcohol and junk food and people still ignore it in favor brief moments of pleasure. That are vaccines out there that prevent diseases such as the measles (offered to the population for free) and people have still been convinced to avoid them. We really have a lot to be embarrassed about. Word Count 368 Written for: "Blog Week Birthday Bastion 2025"  |
