Dear Ape,
I address you as an Ape because that is exactly what you are.
Don’t be shocked. Don’t be surprised.
I repeat "You are an Ape". Nothing that you do will change this simple fact. You are the fifth Ape, the direct descendant of the great ape family that originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago and reached behavioural modernity around 50,000 years ago.
We know this because we have mountains and mountains of evidence in the form of fossils, DNA study, geological distribution study and Radio carbon dating to prove your animal and Ape origin.
But there is something special about you that set you apart from the rest of your Ape family.
You are the smartest and the most intelligent Ape on this planet.
But this intelligence has also given you deep conceit, staggering hypocrisy and an amazing arrogance.
You now claim that you are not an animal. That you are not a product of evolution that generated a million forms of lives on this planet. That you are not created by the physical and purposeless laws of nature that govern the universe. You have disowned your own family “The great Ape family of Africa”.
You may claim that you are an absolutely divine creature and that you have descended from the heaven with a divine, celestial purpose and have a spiritual connection with your creator.
But nothing that you can imagine will belie the simple truth that you have a TAIL BONE left behind your back like the other Apes, a proof of your animal origin.
You cannot ever deny the truth that your DNA matches with that of your nearest animal cousin the Chimpanzee to the extent of 98 percent. This only means you and your cousin are lineal descendent of the great Ape family. You cannot ever deny that you have appendix inside your stomach which is used by all apes to digest raw leaves and raw plants. Of course you don’t have any use for it now because you are no longer a raw leaf eater. There are million other evidences like these but many conceited apes amongst you will never agree.
So I shall now address your hypocrisy and arrogance one by one:
On the Ultimate Purpose of Life:
There has been enough discussion in your Ape community about the ultimate purpose of your Ape life. I want to ask you one question. Why do you think your Ape life should have a purpose? You Conceited Ape “Do you even bother to ask whether Chimpanzees your nearest cousin have a purpose of existence?” Do you bother to ask whether your farther cousin the baboon has a purpose of existence?
Because you do everything in your life with a purpose doesn’t mean that nature should follow the same. Why do you expect the physical laws of nature to have Purpose? Why don’t you understand that the laws of nature are purposeless? Does the life of a butterfly have a purpose? Do plants and trees that grow around you have a purpose? Do incessant waves of the oceans have a purpose? Then why should your life alone have a divine purpose?
Of course you apes can add purpose artificially like saying that “The life of a colourful butterfly gives happiness to people around it”. But then that is an artificial attribution of purpose by your Ape brain not the real purpose of its existence which is purposeless.
On Saving the Planet:
You Apes have deep conceit to spread awareness regarding saving the planet earth.
“Save the Planet”… What a conceit!
You are not powerful enough to seriously affect the planet. What you are trying to save is a hypothetical image of what you think the planet should be! The planet has survived traumas many billions of times of greater than what you can ever cause. The planet has been through a lot worse things than you can even imagine.
It has been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles…hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages…And you apes think some plastic bags, and some aluminium cans are going to make a difference?
The planet is fine. Compared to you apes, the planet is doing great. It has been here four and a half billion years. You have been here, what, a two hundred thousand? And you have been engaged in heavy industry for a little over two hundred years.
Two hundred years versus four and a half billion and you have the CONCEIT to think that somehow you are a threat? That you apes are going to destroy the beautiful little blue-green ball that’s just a-floating around the sun? You apes are amazingly conceited.
The planet will be here for a long, long, LONG time after you are gone, and it will heal itself, it will cleanse itself, because it is a self-correcting system. The air and the water will recover, the earth will be renewed, and if it’s true that plastic is not degradable, well, the planet will simply incorporate plastic into its system without any prejudice.
