So what am I worth?

Worth is something I contemplate often. I suppose the question is; when will I be able to say, "I accomplished _______." So suppose I ate a bowl of breakfast this morning, wheaties for what its worth.

Could I wake up a champion?

No, because I have to eat. it is in my nature, which I never chose to have. I could have ate captain crunch. I suppose that is my choice right? But did I buy the captain crunch? or even if I did, did I make it? No I bought it. Well I suppose then the captain crunch I receive from the handy dandy grocery store is from the fruits of my labors. But I am not the farmer that births the fruit, I am the slave that picks it for the petty handout of the farmer. Does the farmer command the sun to shine on his crops? Even the farmer is a slave. So down to the milk I pour into the bowl from which I eat in the morning I can claim nothing as mine, and guess what?

neither can you.

Nobody can own the land either, once they die the land will own them and provide the necessary nutrients to raise crops for the next land grabbing humanoid. No single person can say, " i saved humanity." because supposing they truly did (albeit improbable) it was actually their parents who saved humanity when they decided to not wear a condom in the mens room at the local bar. No single species can say,"we are divine." because according to every single crazy religion and trusty science we are all born from something. Be it gods magic wand or Homo erectus, no one species is above another. We need to eat the cows, so shouldn't we give them grass? Go ahead and bite the hand that feeds you, just feed the body that eventually bites you. Circle of life, Lion king 101.

So what conclusion can be reached here? We have no choice, we have no fate (because fate utimately is a choice. Think about it, use those synapses.) We are not divine or above anything, we have needs, because all things decay. We don't know why but if we did I suppose we could have the power to become everlasting robots. sounds good I suppose.

Or we can do another thing, something we have been taught our whole childhood. become above ourselves and instead of seeing the why of existence as a way to gain power or prove that some "god" deserves more (as if he needed it.) see it as the answer to the question you asked when you were born, "what is this light world around me?" My educated guess is that we are here because we can be, not because we should.

If there is an afterlife then life on earth is my vacation from it. I hope somebody took photos.
