Once upon a time lived some dinosaurs.
They spent their days eating, walking, flying, swimming, fucking and generally minding their own business.
One day, right out of the blue, a big fucken asteroid slammed into the planet around about Mexico and killed (almost) the fucken lot of them. Oceans vaporised, the sun was blocked halting photosynthesis so the plants died, air became unbreathable and that was the end of pretty much everything for a long time to come.
One single asteroid some 14 kilometers in diameter and all that destruction.
It's not a very happy story, life on this planet pretty much ceased to exist for a long, long time. Sure, it didn't happen immediately but with toxic air, earthquakes and volcanoes and all manner of fucken hell on Earth life didn't last very long after that asteroid struck.
Did you know there's over 190 confirmed asteroid craters on our planet?
Science boffins reckon there's been many more too and due to environmental and geological change/effects like earthquakes, wind and rain erosion, the movement of the tectonic plates and the chaos that can cause with the planet's surface many of the craters have been erased.
But why am I talking about asteroids and tectonic plates?
I was talking to a chap last night who seemed to think the human race will endure forever and continue to thrive. I call bullshit on that though, nothing is forever - just ask the dinosaurs. (Oh yeah, you can't because they're fucken gone.)
I think it's typically human thing to think that life won't change; their life or general life.
Humans are hubristic and egotistical creatures often refusing to see or accept that things can change quickly. They tend to waste life (time) because of that...so many humans don't want to acknowledge that it could all come to a sudden halt and carry on acting accordingly in so many ways. It's not just asteroids - although I'd say that's quite a likely event at some stage. People die untimely deaths all the time - death is pretty final.
Things change: Job and relationship losses, health issues, financial situations, global pandemics, war, natural disasters, civil unrest even something as simple as a government-change can have massive and ongoing effects on people's lives.
Things can change, and they will.
Your life will look a lot different if an asteroid like the one that struck 66 million years ago hits again. Your life will look different if you die of a heart attack because you're a fat unhealthy cunt and do nothing about it...just for an example. What if your plane went down in mid-flight and crashed...yep, your life would look different. Or...you were in a vehicle wreck and became a quadriplegic...that's change your life huh?
Anyway, I'm not really sure where this is going.
I guess I was just a bit shocked about the naivety, hubris and ego of the fellow and how he tends to waste time because he feels he has plenty of it...and I'm often shocked when people who should know better do not do better when it comes to looking after themselves and leading their best life. Think about the fat fuck...Talks about eating better, exercising and becoming healthier but isn't doing it.
Talk is cheap, it's action that matters; massive action now because one never knows when it'll be too late.
Why don't people take better care of themselves? Why do they not see that the only way to a better, healthier, longer life is to do the right thing...to actually do it not talk about it. Are people lazy? Oblivious to the dangers? Do they not care?
The best time to make a change for the better, to live better and be better, is right now because tomorrow isn't promised.
I don't know if an asteroid will hit the planet and fuck it up making humans extinct and there's nothing we could do if that was to happen; I hope it happens though, the planet needs a reset and humans are incapable of making that happen despite talking a lot of shit about making it happen.
We can live better lives though, that's well within our ability right now and it's quite easy to do; living a better life will bring a better future for an individual...until that asteroid wipes us out.
What do you reckon? Will an asteroid do us all in, or will people do that to themselves.
