Non-humans. Thousands of myths speak of them. Deified, envied, and most of all feared. Once a grounded fact, know a demonstration of ignorance or insanity from the few humans who claim to have met one. A prey for a select few, and by far not a human invention.
Non-humans exist, they are as real as the air we breath. Their existence remains a secret to most of the human kind since the dark ages, when being remotely different became dangerous and decens of species were brutally slaughtered.
They live amongst us today, hiding in plain sight, some feared, some afraid, some with the urge to rule over the humans, some desiring to be more humane... And all hoping to remain a myth, for if they live only in our imagination, they are safe… For now.
Thank you for sharing an interesting blog entry, Selene. The mere fact that I cannot see something does not mean that it does not exist! Your entry has raised the mode of thinking about non-humans, as you call them, from a single mode of thought (Exist? Yes/No) to a multiplicity of possibilities, starting with Exist in the world or exist as myth? and branching into why exist. Excellent blog entry! Provocative and well-written! I look forward to seeing more. Have a wonderful Thursday.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading this entry, let us say that I also have a vivid imagination and have created much of what I imagine into reality in my writing. Thank you very much for posting here and I believe you have found the right place to share.
