Human life on earth doesn't quite add up.

At least not surface life.

The theory about being made up of several different (alien) species and placed here for shits and giggles makes sense on more levels than I'd typically care to admit.

The thought most recently occurred to me whilst watching a video of a "spiritual YouTuber" wherein he's talking amidst a lovely background of trees and flowing water, wearing shorts and slapping mosquitoes off his legs. A strange dichotomy of possessing a broad awareness based largely on innate common sense, but being in a somewhat hostile environment with no natural defenses.

It just doesn't seem right.

I'm personally quite allergic to mosquitoes and I can't even go outside during the summer for a short time without sustaining several bites which turn into welts and torment me for days. They bite through layers of clothes.

So we evolved huh? LOL. No sense made. These aren't minor annoyances. If it was survival of the fittest, then I would've never been here. By that logic, I couldn't be.

you make great points and consider further how disease is spread by insects (malaria, west nile etc.) it really makes no sense why we are still here , we have a very dynamic immune system i suppose
I could have sworn I posted this theory somewhere recently but I can't find it.

Lately I've been wondering if all the biting and stinging pests of the wild aren't nature's vaccines.

Some of them can make you massively ill, if you're allergic.

I've gotten so many mosquito bites before that it gave me a fever.

This line of thought occurred to me the other day when I was out on the porch (cleaning my guns of course) and several wasps just kept on getting uncomfortably close.

There's a purpose and I'm thinking this is it.

Survival of the fittest is forced upon us on every level, at every point and turn.

Modern conveniences have weeded out many of these annoyances, but at what cost? We shall see.
Once in a while I step on a random bee in the grass and get stung.

It only leaves a small bump and I feel way better afterwards.
I also got stung by a bee the exact same way when I was a kid, but I've made sure it never happened again, lol.
