Although mortally and verbally presumptuous, (but what else can man be), it must be concluded that the universe itself, (life), not only has thoughts, but moods as well, or else man would not, could not have any. But do not let life make your thinking stop there. In some supreme manner, the statement must have validity, that is: for some part within life to experience anything, (call them moods or X-experiences), life itself must experience some version thereof, (whose details and exact nature we cannot know, and can only observe its subordinate manifestation in man). But if you will note with the deadly eye of a freshly frozen flounder, nowhere in the universe: not on this planet; not in deep space, does anything else in existence display anything remotely the moods and emotions of man.
Moons do not sulk; moose do not pine; pines do not whine; quasars do not dread; clouds do not laugh at creeks, and lions do not wildebeest tease.
Outside of man, nothing in the entirety of existence is depressed by the presence of anything else. Nothing ridicules anything else; nothing is mad at anything else; nothing disagrees with anything else. For no necessary reason are human emotions identified as, “human”. All you have to do is a two hour survey of the universe to realize that these moods exist nowhere else but in humans. As always, (and as disappointing as it will be to many), no man is in any position to make any judgment of this situation, as herein described by a man).
No human knows if man having these moods, that seem to commonly lead to destructive acts amongst men, are “bad, wrong, in error” or whatnot. But that does not stop men from endlessly proclaiming such judgments, (as of course, directed to, by the universe), but this is how it is. If you want to see more than the universe and life lets most men see, look to see if you see any signs whatever that life or the universe experiences anything even vaguely reminiscent of such human moods and emotions as fear, hatred, laughter, envy.
Look to see any feeling that you cannot, on any given day see clearly displayed in the everyday life of, (for instance), a hippopotamus. Anyone who can look at a hippopotamus, (or a star, or a skin cell), and not realize that they are not asleep and unenlightened, has a ____________ (you fill in the blank).
