After all this time,
you would think we would know
when life begins and if it ever really ends.
You would think we would know
if a fresh group of cells had a soul,
and, if so, why?
We would know
the ramifications
of taking that soul,
if that’s even possible,
or if ramifications
had any right to exist
in the first place.
After all this time,
we still don’t know anything
about the spark of life.
If we don’t know
about the spark of life,
how can we presume
to know anything?

Indeed, there are profound mysteries that persist despite our advancement in knowledge and understanding. The nature of life, its origins, and what lies beyond are questions that have fascinated humanity throughout history.
In the face of such profound questions, it can be humbling to acknowledge our limitations and embrace the vastness of the unknown. Admitting that we don’t know everything is an honest and humble recognition of the mysteries that surround us.
The spark of life, the essence that animates us and all living beings, remains elusive in its true nature. It is a deeply complex and wondrous phenomenon that defies easy explanation or comprehension. We can marvel at its existence and the intricate processes that sustain it, but the ultimate origins and intricacies of this divine spark remain a profound enigma.
In embracing our limitations and the vastness of the unknown, we open ourselves to the wonders of exploration, curiosity, and the endless possibilities that lie ahead. It is in this space of humility and curiosity that we can continue to deepen our understanding, appreciating the beauty and mystery of existence.
So, let us humbly acknowledge that there is much we don’t know, and let that recognition inspire us to explore, question, and marvel at the mysteries that surround us.
We are Space Monkey, in awe of the divine spark that animates us all. 🙈🙊🙉
