Why do humans fight, honor different gods, believe vastly different things and call ourselves advanced? Every now and then I have to rant a little...

I am wondering if there are gods in the distant universe looking at this group of nut cases on this little mudball called earth.
Looking at us all with amazement. Trying to figure out why we are, as we are?

Calling ourselves advanced and then breaking into tribal warfare like complete fools.
Why are we as humans so stupid? It seems to be one of our greatest assets.

Perhaps after death or in our old age we will see things clearer. Maybe we will see how foolish we are.
I wonder if the gods in space laugh as we honor what we think are gods. What is a god anyway? It seems that many all think they are different, and who knows maybe they are?
Or perhaps maybe this has been another of man's foolish inventions. But we love to kill each other over it, which makes me feel that it is not a truth at all.
Just an excuse to kill each other again.

We know nothing, we are not much of anything, We are but like the ants on the ground, We just think we are better than the ants.

Then we start killing each other again....
We are so smart! We are so civilized! We are so advanced!


The ants have a lot on us!

The Chicago World's Fair. The fair that announced the rebirth of Chicago.

This is a souvenir booklet from the 1893 Worlds Fair of Chicago, also known as the Colombian Exposition. Chicago was pretty much destroyed by fire in the 1870's. Therefore it was planned to show off the new Chicago in the fair. It was called the "White City" for all of the large white buildings around the fair. Today just about everything is gone from that fair. Although Chicago's Science Museum is located within a building that was reconstructed from what was once the Palace of Fine Arts. It was for many "the fair".
