Unfortunately for the followers, as a tree is understood by it's fruits, often times we have some bizarre demands ( somewhat anti-social also) from the deities as almost from their whims. Wiping out races, killing first born, killing and destroying. Many gods in out recent history demand complete allegiance and there absolutely no other gods that would come before. Does he really have to mention that  - guess it's a piece of advice. Anyway, the gods have been fighting for eons and the human surrogates have continued. The defect of monotheism is that somebody thinks their right - all the way to heaven- and somebody's wrong - because it was longer than 2000 yrs ago? Or the the religion says there are many ways ( but really - ours is the way). And a new savior comes along periodically (maybe working in the pond) and many humans and messiahs have their illusions. As conflict seems to be the stimulus for growth - only a Divine and fair creator would give only a few years of one life - this is a play we wrote and - it needs work. And - people are working...

Well, looks like 1 crayfish has gone from laying in a plastic planter in a bed of seaweed (bait)-to - a place full of seaweed that is choking everything else out at a smaller 4 ft deep tank. Can the transference of entities create more balanced environments?  - Why are there so many theories regarding "different" races of humans  being seeded here - by different gods -  and kept apart by geography and language (Babel). Seems very possible after observing - and especially after adding in the fears and competition which are the nature of animals and most humans. We can see that most conflicts are based on ethnic,religious,and cultural differences. Of course, there are always resources involved. Until relatively recently, the different groups have not been able to observe each other as much and get to know more about the universal human experience. If enough humans can achieve self-love and spread it to others, along with some supernatural event(s)...#optimystic

The Pond... Am starting to be observant more then before. The large fish - disappeared after more than a year ( i wonder about how it was after the neighbor kids had been down there) - now a new species has emerged and is creating a dominant culture - this is how it's mostly always been, but, i'm wondering how much i might alter the ecology (got a trap down there now) - oh sorry - they are crayfish and when they get older turn bright red kinda like a lobster. They eat anything and everything.... I realize this (scene) is a manifestation of feeling and vision of when i was young and we hiked 5 mi. in to a only one cabin on a lake. Wonderful. As far as growing up - that's another talk.
