Resigned

Humanworld is a downtrodden, miserable plane of existence controlled by the dual, arbitrary constraints of space and time.

Space and time are two trees competing for existence at a point, and one tree winning. Time holds the most sway. The other dimensions bend to its will, as do the inhabitants of humanworld. What they do at any given point could barely be considered free will. It is Sunday night, so it is highly probable that the student is studying. It is highly probable that the system is functioning as it does on any Sunday night, within a minute tolerance.

Not that this place doesn’t contain its share of mysteries and worthy endeavors. Existence is crazy. Armies cause destruction by moving clockwise. I could easily be happy until I die studying humanworld and its inhabitants.

But infinitely more is going on than in humanworld. Perhaps the universe is infinite in size. Perhaps there are an infinite number of dimensions. I owe it to myself to learn as much as I can about what lies beyond. So it's not that there’s anything especially wrong with humanworld. I’ve just had more than enough time to experience it and would be interested in exploring one of the other infinity possibilities?

One with more than three dimensions, perhaps? One where time isn’t linear, please? I’d even take trees being purple in the summer instead of green. Just anything different from oh so dreary, mundane human-world.

Drat. On that note, there’s actually especially right with the humanworld either. Genocides and stock markets and commercials for Olive Garden and CGI M&M’s that are supposed to look human. Is the consumer supposed to imagine eating a person while eating an M&M? How is that supposed to make him want to buy more?

Whatever I want to learn, I’m stuck with the unfortunate hillbilly upbringing of being on Earth and only truly being able to understand three dimensions plus time. I refuse to give into humanworld by looking into it for answers. I shall look as far away as I can.
