The sheep, wolf and farmer
I'm not really a writer but couldn't help writing this. This is not really a story but an article on what is really true. Please tell me what you think.
The sheep, wolf and farmer
In this short I’ll attempt to discover who is truly good or bad, right or wrong. Let’s take a look at the sheep, wolf and farmer from a cartoony perspective- the wolf usually is big, conniving, evil, manipulating- all the traits of a negative personality, most likely attributed to human beings, since most cartoons do just that, the sheep is weak, scared, yet nice and kind, full of good, and finally the farmer- protective of the sheep as a parent, always reassuring. Now let’s take the same scene and look at it from the wolves perspective- he is hungry, yet brave and strong, the sheep is but a meal for whom he has no real grudge, and the farmer is the competition- since both want the same thing- the sheep. This outlines the hypocrisy of cartoonists, and the meat-eating portion of humanity in general, attempting to reassure themselves of being correct in their actions and, humane, when in fact the wolf shares the same general qualities but is portrayed in a sort of propaganda, like and enemy country would have been in a war, not to that extent of course. Next let’s take a look from the point of view of a documentary program- the sheep and wolf, that is, in their natural environment, are but parts of a balanced ecosystem and coexist harmoniously, and humans are but a parasite or virus, in a way, that disrupts that harmony. Finally let’s take a look at that scene from an ant’s point of view: the sheep, and farmer are the size that stellar bodies are to us, and fly by in monumentous speeds, the and, assuming it could see them, that is, because ants are blind and use antennae to prod around, but assuming they could, the ant would be afraid of all of them and hope that it’s not stepped on and squashed as they go about their daily business. Each of these perspectives portrays the subjects differently, with interchangeable good and bad qualities. This shows that there is no universal good or bad, right or wrong, and those concepts exist only in the eye of the beholder, same as beauty. If the universe consisted of all but a few rocks flying around randomly and crashing into each other on occasion, there would be no right and wrong since there would be no one to establish what that is (for the purposes of this article I’ll leave God out of it since, while I’m sure he has his own such views, and I believe in him, debating his existence is not part of this article, in fact could take up thousands and thousands of books, and that would only be the beginning).
