Watching Humans

Once there was a Society of Swiss Watches, but none could display time accurately - which is odd, because that's why they were made. They could display a lot of other things, like how many numbers were on the dial, what color was the dial, what shape was the dial and case, what the case looked like, and many other useless things having nothing whatsoever to do with the time. But, although they all automatically, mechanically, displayed "a time", none of the "times" matched that of any other "time displayer", so there could be no consensus. Without consensus, there is no Time. The Society of Swiss Watches - the finest watches the world has ever seen - was worthless, useless, pointless, and "time-less".

Once there was a Society of Simply Humans, but none could tell the truth accurately - which is odd, because that's why they were made. They could tell you thousands of millions of other things, like how many youtubes they watched before breakfast, how many google searches they ran while watching the morning news shows, how many yahoo groups they read and posted to, how many glasses of beer they drank before noon, how many books they read last month, how many times they exercised during the last 3 days, and many other useless things having nothing whatsoever to do with the truth. But, although they all willingly told "a tale", none of the "tales" matched or agreed with any of the other "tale tellers", so there could be no consensus. Without consensus, there is no Truth. The Society of Simply Humans - the finest and most sophisticated creatures the world has ever seen, who actually made the Swiss Watches and much more - was worthless, useless, pointless, and "tooth-less", because all of them were "Truth-Less" and just full of nonsense. Oh, and they couldn't tell the accurate time either, not understanding what it is.

Of course - as everyone knew, not as "truth", but as "belief" - humans have no consensus about anything else in their tangible world of the  three-dimensional matter of and outside their bodies, and so the most dominant form of speech on this planet is today, as it has always been, argument, disagreement, criticism, and complaint, which is bad enough, but they have even less consensus about the intangible world of fourth- and higher-dimensional matters behind their eyes. This creates considerable strife and confusion for the Society of Simply Humans. Clueless about the "out there", and Clueless about the "in here".

Perhaps it is time for one of them to Wake Up and learn how to "set all the time pieces" so that the rest of them could "get along", and Keep Accurate Time for a change, even if for only a day or two (since, truth be told, the Society of Simply Humans is running OUT of time), until they all forget again - which is to be expected of course - until another one has to Do It again.

One last thing for those who already see it: what's the difference between the two Societies? At least the Swiss Watches don't go around bragging about their finery, their workmanship, their beautiful dials, their numbering systems, their "bling" (how many and what kinds of jewels were used in their manufacture), unlike the hapless humans who literally CAN NOT STOP bragging in one way or the other about every aspect of their manufacture (including but never just limited to their "bling" - all the crap they own), which is of course responsible for everything they do, say, think, feel, believe, conjecture, theorize, and did I mention, DO! Really, is there any reason at all for human vanity when you get right down to it?

Finally, it's not so hard for my cat, my dog, my watch, to resist the "vanity urge" - they simply Be what they were meant to be, at all times, without fail. Same should be true for humans. Are you a cat, a dog, a watch, or a human? Answer carefully.
