Word of Today: Bat
A bat.
What exactly sets them a part from any other species?
They have wings, they have eyes, they have a mouth and they eat. However, when you see a bat there is fear. How come?
Is it because of their sharp teeth? Is it because they only operate in the night, where nightmares roam and danger lurks?
Are you afraid that the bat will come after you and hurt you? What about the bat themself? What if they are afraid of you? If you will come to them and hurt them.
See we are abnormal to any animal. The different races of human kind, and how we take over their habitat to make it our own. We are the ones they fear. So the bat might just be acting out of self defense. Hoping to live another day. Hoping that a human doesn't end their life out of fear.
The natural world we cannot fully understand as we are not fully part of it anymore. There might have been a time were human kind was in touch with mother nature, but now what? Replace all forests with architecture, pollute our skies, poison our food and water? All for what? To control and keep us humans in check?
I say the bat has every right to hold the fear it does. Its retaliation against man is deserved. Their space is not ours, but we take and have the audacity to fear a situation that was created by humans.
Fly free bat, to wherever you are trying to make a home. I will definitely not be there because I don't like bats, but I know my place and it is not to take what is theirs.
