Oh no. A creativity blog. This is gonna blow.

Someone on another planet in the universe right now is looking up at their local moon and wondering if there’s any other creatures in the universe who are doing the same thing. Someone in the universe is calculating the odds of sentient life living on another planet, positing an environment like earth’s to be the ideal condition for life’s growth, entirely unaware of the planet whose inhabitants call the rock they live on “Earth” and speculate as to whether there may be sentient beings elsewhere calculating the odds of a rock like earth with inhabiting a planet similar to earth. Dunno what I just typed but if you read it slowly it might make sense. Someone on another planet, entirely inhuman but with the mental capacity similar to a human’s, is worshiping the god of his or her culture, positing him or her to be the creator of the universe and not considering that intelligent beings on a planet billions of light-years away have their own versions of such a god. Not to get geeky, but the universe is infinite in expanse, and given the nearly infinitely large range of events that could occur at any given time, it’s more than likely that some social, intelligent beings on other planets have evolved and possess their own varieties of culture and their own kinds of social conflict. They have their own scientists who have discovered things about the universe that might completely overturn everything we think we know about it. 

And right now, there is probably some lonely youth staring out the window at a sky that’s not blue and wondering what to believe about the world they live in.

This is why I’m not paid to write.
