Surely nothing apocalyptic will happen...

So I got to hang out with my super awesome cousin today. I was pretty nervous at first because I'm nervous when I have to be with someone new. I mean he's not new, but its not as if we've spent a lot of time together. .... Or any time together. Haha. He has great ideas. He's a film maker, a dreamer, and really connects with the world the way I feel I do. I'm going to tell you about one idea he had in particular...

Think of all the hard labor jobs out there. Cart pushing, warehouse stocking.. You know, the ones that anyone with half a brain could do. People work really hard at those jobs. Maybe not putting their all into it, but the physical activity is quite high. Now think of all the jobs in the world put together.. How many of those do you think are hard labor? A huge percentage I would imagine... Think how many people are doing those jobs... Billions most likely. He and I believe people were put on this earth for a purpose. Everyone has their own thing to do. I don't mean fate, I mean they have something they are great at, and wish they could do that their whole life. Instead, they have to push their bodies just to get by so the rest of us can live more convenient lives.

Solid premise right? Here's where I may lose some of you... All 3 people reading this... You know what a mule is, right? Its a horse that mated with a donkey. Two different species that just look similar producing something completely different.. Now... Here's where it gets tricky/funny. Chimpanzees, apes, gorillas, they all are super humanly strong. They lack the verbal capacity and reasoning to function in a workplace... So... You cross a human and, say, a chimp. Two different species that look somewhat similar to produce... Humanzees. Yes Humanzees. These creatures would only be maybe one and a half times stronger than a human. You could take that down if they got unruly, right? I mean a fullblood Chimpanzee would rip your arms off and not care. Not only that, they would have the capacity to do what they're told and function at a job. Of course they wouldn't be as smart as a human. Ok those of you that went away, come back. While Humanzees take care of the manual labor, what happens to the people who used to work those jobs? Simple. Now they can function completely for the betterment of society. They can get into whatever they wanted. They can be super scientists, or the world's best guitar player. Whatever a person thinks he or she is good at, he or she can focus completely on it! Gone would be the days of someone slaving their life away to make just enough money to scrape by only to have their life, their living life, to be that much shorter. Some would say that would be breeding something for the sole purpose of doing manual labor, but think, how many people in this world are born only to do just that? I think he's onto something...

You know when you spend hours looking for something only never to find it? Then when you finally give up, it was right under your nose? What about love? Can you go your whole life looking for love not caring too much about the world at large and never find it? And would you give up looking if you figured you'd find it right under your nose according to the earlier logic? Of course if you give up, then maybe you'll never find it. Then again, its love, so logic doesn't factor in. So what do you do? Is it worth going your whole life thinking every relationship could be the one? Do you put your all into every relationship risking horrible heartbreak? Or do you take it easy and view each one with a scrutinizing eye risking pushing them away? Is there an inbetween? People obviously make it work. Nothing is ever perfect, but then why does it never work out? I've had good times, but sometimes that's not enough. Will I find what I'm looking for? Or will I settle for what I get? Will I find an amazing relationship to make up for a life of crappy endings? Or will I coast through life never finding what I truly want? I guess that's part of life. Life goes on. No need to dwell. Patience and time solve most things. But can one truly be patient in matters of the heart? It seems contradictory to me. I'm a hopeless romantic and a realist. These things do not mesh... I suppose time will answer my questions.


Or am I just being emo?
