The Martian Chronicles: Why My Neighbor's Rocket is Bigger than Mine
The Martian Ego.
Hello Earthlings and Martians alike!Today, we bring you a tale from the Red Planet, where the dust is redder, the sky is stranger, but the people... oh, they're just the same.
So, here I am, a new Martian. I left Earth thinking I'd escape the rat race, but guess what? The rats have spaceships now! And they're racing on Mars. You see, I thought technology would be our savior. We've got AI that can cook, clean, and practically do a backflip. But can it teach Mr. Zog from the next crater how to not flaunt his new anti-gravity boots? Nope.Then there's me, trying to meditate under the two suns (yes, Mars has two suns now, didn't you get the memo?). But how can one find inner peace when every five minutes there's a commercial rocket zooming past telling me to purchase the latest mind thought download via the amaz-mars-tesl-probe droids, greatly disturbing my chakras!
We've got it all here – Martian malls, zero-gravity exercise, interplanetary internet. But guess what's also tagging along from Earth? Egos. Big, giant, space-helmet-sized egos.
I overheard a conversation the other day. One ego filled “Martian” was bragging about his new solar-powered mansion that's apparently visible from Earth. I mean, why stop at the Joneses when you can make the whole Earth jealous, right? And that's when it hit me. We're out here, millions of miles from home, trying to be 'better' than the next person or even wayyyyy better than those “Earthlings” back on home planet 1.0.
But why?
We're tiny specks on a tiny speck, floating in a vast cosmic ocean. We've got the tech to start anew, but we're stuck in the old ways. Maybe instead of building higher walls or bigger cock rockets, we should work on expanding our consciousness. On understanding that no one here is worse, none are better... we're all equal to. Because, dear readers, at the end of the day, what's the point of conquering new worlds if we can't conquer our own need to be 'better' than someone else?
So, let's put aside those age-old agendas. Instead of looking at the next big thing, let's see each other. Because if we don't, we might just end up being a bunch of technologically advanced, spiritually bankrupt heading towards extinction Martians. And that certainly isn’t “new” or “cutting edge” tech and who wants that? So maybe the big tech is the tech you have inside you right now WAITING to be updated…..and imagine not updating that software for 10-20-30-40-50-60 years? Talk about a security hazard!!!
Want to get to know the greatest tech ever….the tech inside of you?
Then start your Apex Life in Synergy Journey NOW. Maybe the more “Earthlings” we get to understand themselves on Earth, the less vacant, lost and repetitive destructive subconscious energies will be “imported” to our future homes out in space.
