"I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure." -Agent Smith, The Matrix
Being the way I am, I have, for most of my life, seen the human species as the true vermin of earth. I have lost faith in humanity ages ago(excepting few). Really, how many species will do this to their own home? Humans are supposedly the most intelligent species on planet Earth, yet we race to our own extinction, knowingly, in or merry little hummers. Sounds like suicide to me.
"If the Earth dies, you die. If you die, the Earth survives. There are only a handful of planets in the cosmos that are capable of supporting complex life..." - Klatu, The day the Earth Stood Still
I pretty much live by this. I used to joke about the aliens coming to fix things. Then, I saw "The day the Earth Stood Still".
Perhaps our purpose is being some type of planet cleaners. Our entire existence may only be like a few minutes to aliens and we clear the planet of all life, leaving the planet to them to do as they please. The abducted humans are like test subjects to genetically modify to adapt to other planets that need to be cleared, and then they breed us to clear the other planets... Sort of a passing thought, didn't think further than that.
A tad too depressing? I don't think so, a bit hilarious if you find the right light to look at it in. Yeah, the asylum doctors are coming for me...
