Sapiens Sapiens?

Ladies and Gentlemen =)
Im here today to start a sequence of posts about some things that makes me wonder if we can really be called Homo Sapiens Sapiens.
We know that we know, but in some situations we really forget to think racionally about what are we doing and about the consequences of our actions.
Blinded by money, consumerism, instint, fanatism and many other things, the human race forgets compassion, friendship, love and faith to fight for they’re own stupid goals.

Related to that, I’ve just finished to read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a great science fiction comedy written by Douglas Adams. Take a look at this quote, in chapter 23:

"For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons."

Maybe we're not the smartest after all =) In these posts, I may show you why o/

You are alone. You lie down in a place when the floor is warm and soft. Your eyes are close and you can't even feel your body. You are surrounded by nice and soft sounds and clean air. It doesn't matter where you are exactly, in a city full of lights or a rainy forest, but you are where you are suppose to be. You are free. Completely free. Free from your problems and responsabilites. There's no one watching you.

If you really want to, you can share this moment with a person. Just put her/him in your imagination, just let her/him be next to you, quietly.

You are finally calm, with a confortable sense of happiness (not the material sense, the one that is always with you). And it's like you had always known why there's life, why you are breathing. after all.

And you just be. No rush. Just because =)
