Think about it, one more time:
the nuclear bomb is not "user-friendly"!
The nuclear bomb kills—vaporizes!—everyone
and everything.
It is an uncontrollable weapon whose target is
the Earth and Life itself.
Yet, there is an even more peculiar,
unnerving, amazing and somewhat paralyzing revelation
that a sojourning alien encounters. Not only in this vision is
every person—you—expendable,
considered acceptable collateral damage, but
you
have no intrinsic value
or right to life.
Isn't this the iron-clad conclusion drawn from
realizing that you are simply a target to be
vaporized? You are not an enemy slain who is then brought home
to be buried by his or her loved ones. No. You have no
right to your body—living or dead! You
have no right to exist! You are beyond worthless.
—Poof!—
You
are nothing but
a cloud of vaporous atoms.
Ask yourself, "Why?" Then
consider that there must be something so
powerful, so precious, so numinous, so creative within your intimate
presence that the Warrior's Quest is to obliterate,
annihilate—make it seem to your family and loved ones that you
never existed.
This remains an absolutely mind-boggling,
heart wrenching, spiritually shuddering insight.
Earthfolk call this something your vital
zest.
