This is a popular question that everyone wants to know: Why do spinner dolphins spin?
You’ve probably seen this happen in nature. This dolphin jumps out of the water and spins a bunch of times in the air before crashing back into the sea. It seems crazy. It doesn’t look like it helps them catch fish, or anything. But they do it all the time. The big question is why?
If you look on the internet, you’ll find a bunch of scientific mumbo-jumbo about them expressing themselves, or about chasing off parasites that are trying to suck their blood. Or whatever!
But here’s the real answer: They do it BECAUSE THEY CAN!
It’s a pretty straightforward, Occam’s Razor scenario. We’ve checked it out, and we have the facts. Plain and simple. Nature gave them a gift, and they use that gift. That’s all you need to know!
The question for you is: What gifts were you given that you are squandering?
Think about this now. These gifts could be either the gifts you were given by being a member of the human species, or they can be the gifts that were given to you as an unique and special individual within the species.
Either way, I’m sure there’s something!
The human body is an amazing thing. The human mind perhaps even more so. Put it all together and Blam! You have a recipe for greatness!
What do you figure your gift is?
Is it that you can run for hundreds of miles to tire out your prey? (or win?) Is it that you can write poems that make people cry or laugh? (or screenplays?) Is it that you can tell stories at a dinner party, hit a tennis ball really hard, enjoy sex, do math problems? Maybe you give emotionally challenging powerpoint presentations? Maybe you know how to draw weird pictures and post them on the internet for literally billions of people to Ooh and Aah over? I DON’T KNOW THE ANSWER. ONLY YOU KNOW THE ANSWER!
(President Trump can have affairs with Playmates of the Year! SO HE DOES! You probably can’t do that!)
Maybe you have many gifts. Maybe you can do it all!
The point is that, if you can, you should. If you aren’t, why not? Isn’t it your moral obligation?
There is no point holding it back! There is no point doing boring stuff only!
On the flip side, you also have to ask yourself whether your gifts are immoral? Then you have a bit more to think about.
Like what if you’re really great at stealing other people’s things? Or caning? Or stoning to death? Or building nuclear bombs? Or handcrafting crystal meth in a motor-home? Or enforcing tax laws? Or inventing AI robots that will inevitably take over the planet and KILL US ALL?!
Then maybe you should think about doing something else. Or, in these cases, maybe boring stuff is better. (JUST WATCH TV AND SEND TEXTS! IT’S ALL GOOD!)
