I mean fuck, lions just came to mind first because of the asshole cuntbag dentist. I could have listed any number of animals. Also the lion king is a fucking awesome movie.
And yeah, you did say something about getting help. At least that's how I'm reading it:
"The success of the botfly, particularly the one that likes to lay it's eggs in human children's eyes, could imply that they have some pull upstairs that we, the suffering hosts, do not" Pull kind of indicates help.
I see where you're getting the idea of help from now. I suppose I could have used the word favor, or affinity. I think, personally, that it would be hard to sell the idea that a god dislikes things like botflies, mosquitos, or beetles, or that they are somehow negatively valued or failing some test while simultaneously being so numerous and successful.
Is it entirely impossible for you to consider that your list of harmful and beneficial this and thats may have nothing to do with any objective -or- divine designation...that it's more a reflection of your own value judgements? I wonder whether a gazelle would put a lion on the list of beneficial things which get into gazelle heaven.....I would imagine, that if gazelles dreamt, lions are the stuff their nightmares are made of - more a candidate for the shadows that lurk in the pits of hell than cohabitants in eternal bliss. Do you think that you might order your list differently, if you were a gazelle (or, for that matter, a mosquito)? I'm almost certain that you would. In fact....I'm almost certain that if you belonged to a different cultural/social/temporal set of humanity you'd order your list differently, no need to imagine yourself as a gazelle at all.
Or, I suppose, all of that is irrelevant, and you really don't have anything to do with the list (or the heaven) you've imagined...your personal and entirely subjective value judgements haven't exerted any influence on the list you've "guessed" at.........................
