Alien Dreams

[Iris]

But why are we considered rare? Do you get a sense of what it is that draws attention to us?

And I agree, we, as a species, seem to get more bat-shit crazy every day.

Of course I've heard it's our ability to feel emotions so deeply. (Sorry for all the additions, I'm on my second cup of coffee, second load of laundry!)

I've heard it said that the reason that we're here, blind as it were to who we are, that allows us that ability to dive deep and soar high into our emotions. And that could be what is setting off alarm bells all around.

Our imagination and creativity is unlike any other race's. I was told humans' greatest gifts were our imagination and creativity. Then I was told that our greatest curses were our imagination and creativity for we had taken our gifts and corrupted them in our drive for power over one another.

Humans are also the only species willing to foul their own nest, but that's another issue entirely. That we're bat-shit crazy is considered a given, if not by them at least by me.  

DLP, you offer a very interesting perspective.  Is there a thread on this site where you have perhaps elaborated on this subject?  Perhaps in the forum. I'd be very interested in learning more from you.  Perhaps a thread could be started if one is not currently set up. Thank you!
