Missing…link(!)?

47 million years. Long time! Long enough for civilization to evolve in order to ascertain what a fossilized lemur had as a last meal before being buried underneath volcanic eruptions. Not long enough though for civilization (rather some of the more ‘civilized’ ones) to realize that some things are best left to themselves.

Missing links have never been missing.

The latest I read was this. A cannibal! Not surprising  if a lemur is the missing link between apes and humans; could have been worse. After all, aren’t we composed of neutrons at the sub-atomic level as well? Now I know the cannibalistic pulsar is a neutron ‘star’, not a neutron, technically; but it is composed of neutrons, nonetheless. Astronomers, paleontologists, anthropologists and physicists are welcome to prove me wrong. I don’t have any desire to be proved right anyway.

Missing links. Omnipresent.

Since the conception of human life to being bought into this world and leaving it: each passing moment, a link which was missing a moment ago. Each moment, an infinitesimal part of a stream of missing links. A stream, definite in its flow and direction in its completion of a life lived. Most importantly, a series of missing links which compose a life which acts as the missing link to the hereafter.

Right now, I am trying to search for the missing link which helps me get along with most of ‘civilization’.
