if "god" exist.....

then we are equvialent to a giant ant colony living within a given glass box created by the "creator"

I used to have an ant colony in my room where I observed their behavior within a plastic box. You see, these ants who were breed within my plastic ant box only knows that the whole world revolves around the ant box. But little does the ant know, that this little box was made in china and it is not the whole world.......

but to this little ant that was born, this little chinese made box is the whole world to them...


equivalently, we humans in my currently feeling, are like little ant colonies living within a tiny box.

we feel that the world we know may be huge, limitless, and endless, but nontheless, we are still living in a see through box....

perhaps we humans, are like the little ants living within a plastic box.... for the enjoyment of the so called ""creator"""....

if we are actually living within a see-through-plastic-box, for the enjoyment of the "so called god",

then the best thing we can do is to " _________ " ourselves.

Be it that we are a fish living in a tank or ant living within a see through plastic box... once we are "_______ ", it is over...

If what I said above actually happens, two things....


either it now becomes "god's" problem....

OR

if god never existed..... then it is No One's problem....

this thought of yours being it that you think were just put on earth for amusement shouldn't get in the way of you enjoying your life anyways.

Well maybe we are like the ants but if anything was watching us it would probably not be "the creator" because why would he make us just to watch us diddle ourselves lol? I could see us more so like rats that are trapped in a laboratory by some other race that watches us and does tests on us because we share similar qualities. In my opinion if there is something looking at us just for fun it definitely isn't God. But I'm not saying your wrong who knows maybe you're right.

Actually its OUR problem, as a collective. We refuse to see it as it is. Whether we are ants, or a collective so called more intelligent then ants, we sure dont know how to show it. We as a collective are discombobulated, ill informed, and confused, and I would rather be an ant at this point, because at least then their working as a team.

You know what happened to ants when children realized they can control then in their own environment? They burned them alive.

Peace, NRE.

I started asking questions like these about 30 years ago and it's quite a relief to find that others have the same thoughts running through their heads.

Are we some kind of petri dish type experiment being observed?

Is this all a dream and we'll eventually wake up and if we do, where will I really be and who am I really?

Is this all some kind of holodeck where 80 years will pass in just an hour of 'real' time and I'm just on my lunch break in the real reality?

Those were the kind of questions I asked as a child and without the internet to help with answers I used to spend hours in the local library but it only had limited information available. Since using the internet I have a new book list that will take me several lifetimes to read!


I spent years looking for answers as to who we really are and why we're really here.... maybe it is all just coincidence but the further I dig, for answers, the more questions there are so although I love looking at all kinds of information I've become resigned to the fact that I may never know, at least, not in this lifetime/reality.

I just hope we don't have a giant magnifying glass pointed at us right now. Just saying.
