About half a billion years ago, we had a tail that helped us swim in the Cambrian Sea as fish, but we always desired to fly, so we came to land to take off and this led us from fish to primates.
We evolved into primates who use their tail for balance while racing through the branches.
Then after some time, we became super smart from eating mentos that we found somewhere. Maybe they were alien mentos. Who knows? Then we, as primates, decided that jumping and racing through branches was lame and boring. We did not want to be like those other monkeys (the dumb and dumber). We decided to eat meat and only the best fruits because we had refined tastes. And because of our genius (mentos effect), we decided to hunt from the ground and relax and chill and eat more mentos on the ground. We did not want to be anywhere near those thick-headed golden creatures (the crasseious monkey). They were so annoying and noisy. We were too cool for them.
We became so smart that we stopped hopping around trees. We also wanted to be like the powerful creatures that lived on the ground. We thought we were better than our siblings the Bandars. That caused a mutation in a gene called TBXT, which was in charge of tail development. This gene was messed up by a jumping gene, a piece of DNA that liked to hop around the genome and insert itself in random places. The jumping gene messed up the function of TBXT, and as a result, we lost our tails. That’s why we can’t hang from trees anymore. Bummer!
We were so successful in making ourselves different from those dumb creatures who looked like us. But we did not stop there. We started walking on two legs because walking like dumb creatures made us look dumb too (acting like a dumb person makes you look dumb as well). We were too smart and cool for that.
Here, we become the supreme World Eruptor - The human beings with no tail.
The obsession of being different from those lousy monkeys became a reality. This made us anxious because we realized that whatever we thought of, it happened. This gave us an indication of any power that turns our desires into reality and that power we often call "God". We humans became the sole devotees of God because we believed that God made us what we dreamed of. From that day on, we have been dreaming and God has been turning those dreams into reality. And if we go back to the beginning, a fish desires to fly and now that fish evolved as humans and now technically that fish as humans are able to fly, her desire to fly has finally been fulfilled.
So, keep dreaming, keep living, keep eating mentos. If a fish can dream of flying, why can’t we? The process can be long and not straight, but in the end, a fish can find itself flying in a plane that has a tail in the back.
Believe in your tail, one day it will make you fly.
