12:02 am - Give me strength, for I am human.

And as humanity said, "Give me strength, for I am human." The great overseer and caretaker of all life frowned upon them, and grumbled softly, "You deserve no such thing, for you will destroy all you touch." To which humanity replied, "Then give me speed, because I am human, your real creation." Looking with that of despondence, the great one spoke harshly, "You shall have no such thing, your impatience will cause you to be wasteful." Then, thinking deeply, humanity responded in a humble tone, "Then give me intelligence, so I may care for every living thing with my abilities of learning." To which the creator, a believer of modest and selfless statements, did agree to this. Thus humanity was granted intelligence naturally. Humanity's body is made weaker than most other creatures, it's legs, less capable of speed to flee, and to capture. It was as the creator had designed, in the essense of balance. Humanity's trickery was disguised well, and they did plot to use the intelligence to grant themselves the abilities the creator did not want them to have.


With his ability to learn, he adapted himself rein over the land. He used other creatures to sculpt it to his liking, planting food, and bringing water. The creator was pleased, and considered it unselfish that humanity wished to form the land to escape the requirements of hunting, for he also cared for the plants, and for the animals that he did use to make those changes.

After which he learned to use animals, and even the land itself to make himself faster. Using the chemicals locked away for good reason in the ground to hasten humanity's ability to travel long distances and outrun any creature made by the creator. The creator was cautiously contempative, for humanity also used the chemicals to provide protection from the elements for his creatures, and used the chemicals to create devices which helped to mend wounds. Still, the creator thought hard... deeply worried... for those chemicals were poisonous, and locked away for good reason... But the creator saw the care, and dismissed the worries it had, believing that the intelligence of humanity would lead it to properly contain the negative effects of using those chemicals. But as he suspected, with humanity's new ability for speed, humanity became impatient and wasteful. They did not care if they threw away items, or if the air was not clean, "Too much work, and to much cost."

The creator was upset, for humanity had not used it's intelligence to control the negative effects of using the chemicals. The land was becoming toxic, and filled with many items which the creator's true cleaning children could no longer break down and return to the soil. The creator then decided that humanity would require a warning, for the creator does not wish to see things destroyed in their entirety, or lives lost for mis-care. So for this warning the creator did affect the ground's steadyness, and change the season's timing. He made the storms more violent, and more frequent. Humanity, with it's intelligence, did notice that there was a problem, and after many years of abuse, they begrudgingly accepted the fact that they must remedy the problem.


So dependent upon the chemicals did they become, that they would soon have consumed all that they could easily obtain. Leaving the residue of the chemical's waste for those later to clean on their own. However with the end of the supply drawing near, they began to fight. With such a fight they required better strength than one another. Building themselves fake muscles, pinions of strength which they could flaunt. Devising ways to use that which is around them to destroy grand areas. Their demand for strength, and their impatience would lead them to create weapons which destroyed entire cities, and polluted the very soil so no thing would grow after. The creator was angered deeply. The creator's warnings were not understood, his most wise statements ignored. For humanity had twisted it's gift to give itself abilities most un-natural. Humanity had begun to show it's true arrogance, using the gift it received to grant itself that which the creator had implicitly denied.


And so the creator was deeply saddened. As his creatures and creations would slowly sink into non-existence, pushed aside as humanity grew too powerful, and too expansive. Consuming everything, and soon returning nothing. Half of humanity knew that it was behaving badly, but they could not challenge the remaining half who lived out of nescessity without thought for balance, or for care. The creator then decided what was needed to restore balance, and thus did create diseases. A plague of blackness scoured the land, infesting and killing man and animal alike, until thousands had perrished. The creator weaped with sorrow, woeful for what was unleashed, and provided a priod of tranquility. As the disease did slowly creep away, humanity became much wiser. Not in that it was at fault for such a cause, but in the fact that it adapted to prevent such events from happening again. Humanity would not hold itself accountable to the laws of nature, and the balance of equality any longer. It set itself above, and returned in full to thwart all that stood in it's way. Bringing in a new age of medicine, and cures, and preventative drugs. Humanity believed it was in control.


The creator, being most wise, had decided it would allow humanity and it's diseases to fester. Humanity's arrogance would cause it to abuse it's protective cures, and the diseases would soon be immune. Humanity's own desire to conquer death itself and extend it's life un-naturally would lead to it's own failure. Until that one day when humanity's arrogance, impatience, and destructive use of it's own strength would one day end to it's own demise. Still.. the creator sits waiting patiently, for it knows the time will come. In the end the creator feels a great saddness, for the land and it's creations will suffer so until all is gone, and the creator must then retry again.

11:57 pm - So stuffed

First, today's Ficlet. I'm kind of fond of it, even though I hate the setting and the characters, but it might be because I FEEL like I was better able to describe the setting. The picture in my mind seems a lot easier to imagine after reading it anyways.

So me and Jason spent most of the day together, went to the University to get our books for the coming semester. Set me back $356ish dollars, but thankfully, 5 of them I bought are for a year long course rather than just a single semester, mitigating some of the cost a bit. It would've cost more, since I did not buy three text books I needed for the Introduction to Buddhism course I'm taking, but since me and Jay are both in the same course he figured we'd just share books....I owe him for the price of those textbooks, I hate being a mooch ^^;

Afterwards we came back to my place and ordered some chinese food...mmm. Ordered too much; chicken balls, shrimp, wontons, lemon chicken, and an order of some form of chicken in a garlicy sauce. It was very good, but like I said, I ordered too much and I actually feel sick thinking about eating the rest. Oh well, lunch and supper for tomorrow, since I doubt my mom will be cooking supper. She's got her BF coming over. Hey she cleaned up the house, but only to further her own selfish agendas rather than doing it because she's supposed to be a responsible home owner...

Anyways, I feel like getting a head start on #13 so I'm off.
