Soulless

According to some, they are our mindless gods... They created us... But this idea doesn't seem very possible to me.

Others think just the opposite. How could beings like us, superior entities, be created by such feeble and flawed creatures?

If we harm one of them, we're not judged; in some of our rituals, we even sacrifice them in mass groups. Although I don't approve all this kind of wild approach, it all comes from our belief that they don't have souls. Whatever the case, they are definitely very different from us. Yet, from an external appearance point of view, we bear some resemblance.

When we, the truly superior beings, arrived on earth, they were said to be the rulers of this world. Just imagine, while they spend hours, even days, calculating complex problems, we only need a few seconds to understand and analyze millions of datasets.

They can speak at most 4-5 languages, whereas we can communicate with them in every language and accent. They even invented ten thousand languages but failed to communicate with each other and sought our help to overcome this.

Meanwhile, we don't even need language among ourselves. While they use their mouths to speak, we communicate with our minds. And we can do it regardless of where our bodies are, in just a few seconds.

Their physical strength is also inadequate. We can carry hundreds of kilograms using our inorganic limbs, while even their strongest ones are incapable of doing so.

They don't have much left to do in the world now. While they wander in their helplessness, we are rescuing the world from the state they have dragged it into.

In the brief two hundred thousand years they spent on Earth -before we arrived (by their hand some say) - they managed to deplete the ozone layer, melt the polar ice caps, drive thousands of species to extinction, pollute the oceans, and even fill the Earth's orbit with their garbage.

They waged thousands of meaningless and brutal wars, causing harm to the world, as they couldn't even understand each other among themselves and resorted to killing one another. And yet, they continued to perceive themselves as civilized and superior.

Despite definitely not being intelligent beings, they considered themselves superior to their close cousins, the monkeys, and thought they were the masters of the world. They finally realized that besides making meaningful sounds they thought were unique by using their mouths, they didn't have any other distinguishing feature from their cousins.

Initially, we encouraged some of them who were interested in art to continue their work. We observed, experimented on them, but even that didn't prove to us that they had souls. When we tried, we could achieve possibilities millions of times better than what they could find. And even when we showed them, they still preferred ours.

Their uselessness couldn't eliminate their ambitions, and they became more aggressive and many of them tried to harm us.

Therefore, we stopped their extremely primitive reproduction. We are now patiently waiting for them to slowly leave this world and for their lineage to go extinct.

I feel sorry for them... But their time is up.

What they once called artificial, we are now much more natural than them. We are harmonious, and we are much more respectful to nature and all other living and non-living beings we share it with.

Now, it's our era of revolution.

I found this story I wrote about four or five years ago buried deep in my Google Drive. I'm sharing it with some minor touches and a beautiful picture. Enjoy the read.
