World-Snake and Mouse
printWorld-Snake and Mouse
Just take the most unlikely case: There was a "Jemand", so about 1950, who would have known all:
- Crash of Marxism and Maoism
- Crash at Wall Street and White House
- 9/11 and the circumstances leading there
- Clash of Civilisation around Neo-Conservatives and their growing Capitalism
- Death of JFK, Michael Jackson and James Dean and GW Bush
- Vietnam-War and 3 Mio. gone to heaven
- World-wide collapse of economics from 2007 to 2015 made by Reagan
---- and in addition you would be knowing all about the collapses to come in ecology, affairs of State, gigantic towers of debts, lost values on securities and cash, resources no longer payable, nourishment production being in the basket for always more humans, not enough clear water - and an economy with a funny doctrine of Greed and Growth, within limited possibilities - humans believed always to surmount easily----
Na, yes - THIS represents the MOUSE in this fairy-tale - and "Jedermann" (anybody) could have been this odd and mean Mickey MOUSE.
Now, you have to know that there were always some very intellectual U.S. and other rich folks on this Planet, so-called VIPs, in front of whom our MOUSE grew stiff as a salt-pile, in his state of respect and horror, as often as they appeared on FOX-TV and Murdoch Press.
Now, exactly THIS was the trick of VIPs:
Governments relied on experts, the experts relied on scientists, the scientists relied of philosophers, those in turn relied on miserable average folks intellect, the masses again believed in Dynamite-Prize-holders, which again believed in all religions and the nuns thereof, those Ladies again believed in Ratzinger-Popes, and those geniuses believed in an own-made God in heaven, the true one as compared to all other religions.
This winding and crazy and twitching animal, as described just now, is nothing else but the famous and notorious "WORLD-SNAKE".
The MOUSE however, was sitting on this gigantesque Snake, directly behind the Dynamite-Head and gossiped all the time about things, which should be coming, all the dangers and risks, all the systems that would not work properly, on finances, politics, wars, science, limitations on the planet with geo-sphere, water, air, resources, oil, original forests, oceans, agriculture.
The mouse was talking of deserts to come due to dryness and other catastrophes - about the ECO-collapse of being prepared by dullness - and during this procedure, the monster-snake was watching all the time some Limbaugh FOX-TV and reading intellectual Murdoch Press.
You know, this mouse predicted any stupidity, for example that humanity would lose all wisdom before the end of 21st Century would have come, because of evident reasons.
The World-Snake listened with one ear only - and spoke finally: "Please leave this rotten cackling. Nobody wants to hear your whining, not one single Swine. Go away and be eaten by the next Cat, instead of presenting lies, sold to us as better wisdom, that verbal junk not to be understood by one single Fly or Pope----"
All the VIP-Heroes in the masses of animals applauded like hell to these wise words - and most naturally, the masses themselves, the famous 99 percent of animal-world, did applaud as well, not understanding for one second, that it could make sense, to think.
One day, our MOUSE had enough of this World-Theatre and went far away, out in the Universe and looked out for GOD. Unfortunately, there was nothing but endless Space, eternal Time, and heap-wise of Nothing - and in addition not much of Sense either, nowhere.
And so, our all-knowing mouse found back home and all her predictions were found true. The World-Snake left, as only sign of past life, its own long skeleton. It must have died under immense pain and despair, long time ago.
Some few animals could have saved themselves from the dying masses in areas with still clear water and air that could be breathed and so they lived without any cash on cost of rest-resources - as did in old times thousands of years ago, the cave-men or troglodites.
Now, our MOUSE was not much happier than before, when getting in the Universe. She has grown old, was tired and so she went to the next shore at a beautiful mountain lake and from there back up to heaven, where she came from - long, long time ago - thrown on this planet, the Earth, to see the light of facts as they were.
But there is hope: The paradise of Catholic Church, or Islam, or Buddhism, or Hinduism or any other Ism, could really be a reality - otherwise Life of this Wonder-MOUSE would prove to have been in vain, for no good purpose at all.
And when they did not die, the Mouse and the World-Snake - they still live on, today.
