Fate...
If the thing or person that everyone in a line came to see changes its position, the last in line can instantly become the first in line. Such is the way of Fate.
The Dark Exchange...
The winds howl, asking for pay
A spell cast, paving the way
An equal exchange you mayn't receive
An equivalent one, you can conceive
Small moments of truth in vast life's sea
Many a soul to live to breathe
Many another should first bequeath
Unto the wilds their share of secret law
That water and wind be sated not claw
Die down the howling air
Waters lay still with becalmed flair
Your passing second, our prolonged pain
Harken this spell that it not be in vain
Many shall live, your toll you shall take
From souls such as this, of sorcerous make
So mote it be, this promise your thirst slake
In names Deificarum, such mortals spake.

Life...
Life is not a TikTok reel. It's more like a neverending TV series that some galactic streaming service keeps renewing for a new season and for no real reason.
Critical...
The world is filled will too little critical thinking and too much critical judging.
Madness...
It must be so frustrating and oh-so-ironic to go mad simply from pretending to be sane.

Deer & Screams...
When humans and some other species scream or make loud distress sounds, others of their kind come to help. But when a predator attacks a deer or some other similarly vulnerable species, those particular animals receive no aid from any source.
What then is the evolutionary disconnect that defines the biological need for some species to scream amidst danger when they will never get help from anywhere?
Rare coincidences are on record, but nothing definite enough to establish a eco-guardian, so to speak, for deer and select other beasts. Did they, at some point, actually have a protector species that would, if present nearby, come to their aid? What does that mean for all the creatures we know of today that lack such a symbiotic bond?
Then again, if such symbiosis is strong enough, wouldn't it drive the relatively fewer predators to starvation and extinction? So, the initial question still remains: why dah faq do deer scream?

The Lost Tamil Continent Of Kumari-kandam...
Odd how there's been no news yet that archaeologists, anthropologists, and historians in TamilNadu have sketched plans to begin a comprehensive exploration and investigation of the 'lost' continent of Kumari-kandam. One would think a mega-landmass linking South India and Sri Lanka all the way to Africa's Madagascar will be sufficient cause for immediate study.
They better get to it, because with Climate Change now in full throttle and major ice sheets and glaciers melting, global water levels are going to rise as well as warm. Already, some watery stretches are showing signs of critical ocean current alterations.
This, along with temperature shifts, is only going to endanger what archaeological evidence of Kumari-kandam is potentially waiting to be found. Higher and warmer waters will demand higher expenses and superior depth-pressure-withstanding equipment, not to forget more years to train underwater archaeologists or even AI-driven tech…
At this rate, Kumari-kandam will be just that, a myth. Long-lost Dravidian pride on such a grand scale might never be unearthed, let alone understood, for several lifetimes.

Only Human?...
The fact that humans – the species currently on top of the food chain – have no nocturnal vision is partial proof that our ori-genes did not initially source from this planet.
On this planet where humans are far from capable of taking on an alpha predator on fair fighting terms only adds further proof to our extraterrestrial roots.
And on Earth, where so much fatality and danger rises after the sun sets, the fact that we have – in approximately 6 million years – not evolved even the bare minimum ability to naturally see in the dark adds still more proof to the 'pandora's box' of possibilities that our race is not from around here.

Perspective...
Odd, how something deadly can sometimes lose its fear value to a human being when it is transformed into a symmetrical almost crystalline shape. A venomous viper can thus be remade into mathematically precise layers of rectangles that captivate people when only a moment ago they scared the bejesus out of them.
Discernment...
What, at first, might sound sincere could, in truth, be selfish.
Sometimes the chirp of a bird can sound like the squeak of a rat.
