Brain Snippets


The earth has great self-healing powers:

1. Man pollutes the atmosphere.

2. The Earth opens a hole in the ozone layer, killing the polluters.

3. Balance is restored, and the ozone layer is renewed.


The self-healing earth:

1. Man creates a great industrial society, producing "greenhouse gases" that cause global warming.

2. The Earth's atmosphere warms, melting the polar ice caps, flooding much of the industrial society and killing many.

3. A mini ice age follows, as the earth regains its balance, killing off the remainder of the polluters.


"Us" and "Them" (our fellowmen):

If we stop to consider what end result we want, such as freedom from hunger, disease, and oppression, we may be able to achieve our goals. We focus too much on how to get what we want through political, religious, or other socio-economic means.

And wasn't it the end results that God was after when he told us how to treat each other, whatever our religious background?
