Entry #33 - 9.02.5503

So I haven't been very good lately about keeping up with journal entries -- it's not as if anybody seems to have noticed.

Does it matter? Should it matter, for that matter?

When I first started posting this journal my intent was to inform and educate, to be inclusive and motivate action. My goal was to share with you, citizens of a fragile world, news and information and happenings from the den. My hope was that you'd read of our adventures and take personal action on your home world. My hope was that you'd come to understand we're all fighting the same battle -- and that it's a battle for survival.

Do you think what's happening here is really any different from what's happening there? Do you care that your world - your galaxy - your universe -- is on the verge of extinction? Or do you think it's all a hoax -- the insane ranting of some crazed intergalactic nomad? Given the volume of bad crap going down on your planet right now, and the fact that so many of you seem so totally complacent, it's got to be one or the other. Surely, if you realized the danger you were in, you'd be doing something more than just sitting on your butts consuming reality TV and Pringles.

Right now, as I write this line, people on your planet are dying -- and not just of old age. Right now innocents are falling as your leaders wage war for ego and lucre - it's all about power and money. They care little for the citizenry or the ecosystems that fall prey to their greed. They care nothing for you or your survival - or the well being of your kids, or grandkids, to follow. You've made no noise; your silence makes their atrocities acceptable.

So why should I keep sounding the alarm? Why should I care if your planet goes under, taking with it some 6-billion-odd bags of humanoid organic matter? Perhaps the universe would be a better place without such self-indulgent, destructive creatures - perhaps my energies would be better spent elsewhere...

The fact remains, we're connected. What happens to you affects me, and millions of other species, directly or indirectly, in ways you can't even begin to imagine. You may think yourself adrift, isolated from the world - the universe -- all around, but you're not. When a world fails it contributes to a cumulative disintegration in the cosmos that, eventually, catches up with all the rest. And if things continue on their current course, the universe will inevitably collapse into a dense black hole no bigger than a Geckin's left nipple.

And so I continue to sound the alarm - to reach out with hope that someone, anyone, will heed my warnings and take action against those who would destroy their world, their galaxy -- the universe.
