Did you know you can turn any of the short quotes on our site into an e-card?
Simply locate the quote you'd like to send, and if it fits on our card, you'll see an option for Send as greeting on the left side of the quote.
Or, if you'd like a more classic Greeting card, you can visit our Gaia Greeting Gallery.
Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!

Human beings from this perspective were like ants. Not size-wise. But in the frantic bustling herdlike seemingly mindless and all too short character of their lives. Racing here and racing there, consumed things, hauling burdens around, making messes, tidying up, nursing their young, ignoring their old, dispatching enemies or getting killed by them, forming alliances and betraying them, procreating and suffering famine and pestilence and invading new territory and dropping dead and melting into the earth. And all in sprawling anonymous masses. To no apparent purpose. Unless the purpose, maybe, was to see how it all comes out.
Only, of course, it never all came out. It just kept going the way it was going. No end. No resolution. Only successive flowerings, contractions, regrowths, new flowerings, ad eternam.
