I woke up today with a strange thought , real strange
Advertisements [?]
I have always wondered why there were different continents with different races and physical characteristics , you known black people , brown , yellow , red , whatever . Different languages and cultures .

This was something that lasted some time before man figured out a way to cross oceans and seas and forge into strange lands .

What came to mind was this .

What if , and to be sure this is a stretch , what if we all came from other planets and due to being social outcasts were dropped here on earth as a grand experiment . Now that thousands of years has passed we can see how some people are born with a set of morals and try to do the right thing whatever the definition of right may be nothing other than treating other humans as we ourselves choose to be treated . Some created religions to try to make sense of our existence or purpose and to find hope that the physical shell was just part of a journey because to not exist was beyond comprehension .

Now the entire experiment is rapidly coming to the end because by and large we have allowed the criminal greedy to take control as we followed them into this end .
