WHAT... THE… ACTUAL... FUCK?!
I will never understand this belief that humans have that we are the only ones in the universe that exist, that we are the only form of life... make that make some form of sense.
You can't, because it doesn't.
I mean, think, like really use your brain here... the Milky Way is one solar system in a vast world of solar systems... one tiny inkling on the universal space map. We are but one blade of grass in a vast field. We are one flower petal in a forest. We are a tiny, tiny grain of sand on a beach... Do you catch my drift yet?
I mean, are we really that full of ourselves as a species, and we think ourselves that high and mighty that God or whatever power may be ONLY MADE US?
You think that we are really the only ones?
That's almost laughable, if it wasn't such a bad joke.

I hate to burst this existential bubble, but NO. We aren't.
We, as a species, need to realize that we aren't as special as we think we are.
We are shit.
We treat innocent creatures, children, and each other like complete shit. I am guilty of this as well. I know I could be kinder, more empathetic. I could try to listen with more intention and less judgment or annoyance. Although I don't do it on purpose, and I try really hard not to be complete shit. Is it easy? No, but a little effort goes a long way. We have one world. Most of us won't be able to afford the spaceship ride to "the other planet." Hell, depending on who's all on the ship, I may not even want to go.
If I have to be stuck with the same fuckers that ruined this world to begin with, leave my ass behind, please. Like I'll deal with the leftovers. Let them go. They can go fuck up their own planet and let us "woke" people fix their mess. Because let's be honest, if it wasn't for us concerned individuals, this place would be completely fucked. At least some want to do right, do better, and make a positive impact on the world. Thank the heavens for them.
But, to get back on topic, and answer the question for those who don't believe this or can't seem to understand this concept... we are not alone. We were never alone. The universe quite literally does not revolve solely around us.
That to me is a beautiful notion, because who really wants to be alone?
