Penguins

Last night-went to the Angelika & saw March of the Penguins. SUPER film!!! Go see it...it will make you think more than you imagine. These penguins whole existence is to reproduce. To me that's amazing. I feel as though I completely take new life for granted & don't appreciate the power of recreating. I think any society tainted by the industrial revolution has lost its focus and place in the food chain. I feel like as an industrial society we've lost out survival skills & clear definitions of our place in the world. Think about it for just one second. Before the I.R. we focused on sustaining & producing life. We fought to live. And that doesn't sound so bad to me. Yes, there was disease & life expectancy was low, but that was the part of the circle. Don't tell me you've never had one of those days where you thought, 'man I wish my only responsibility in life was to keep a family...till the land...rear the kids...' Ok, maybe that's just me, but I think we've screwed with nature. There's no survival of the fittest anymore for human race. The icky genes keep getting passed on to create a world of geneticall inferior sheep that are lost. Totally a segway into the Second Law of Thermodynamics, but that's TOTALLY a different story. I think we're only killing ourselves by trying to make life easier.
