Who we are through the eyes of a dolphin

Some time ago, when I was spending time with my friend dolphin – his name is Chyarr – he said to me:

“What is it with you people? Why do you think that God created you in his image? What about us? You think he lost his touch, so he made a mistake with all others?

I was silent on my small boat, while he was very busy jumping around, in spite of his serious words.

“And”, he said suddenly appearing from the turquoise water below, ” why you think this planet is yours to rule upon it? Your God said to you that meek will inherit the Earth? Well, setting aside the impossible thing of inheritance of something which is not yours in the first place, I see just one way for you to become meek and really listen to your God.”

Now, he got all my attention. “How?” I was asking the blue emptiness because Chyarr was swimming somewhere deep.

A couple of minutes later, he came back and said: “Shrink. Be really humble and meek. Return what you have taken and what is not yours. Live together with us. Your destiny is not in numbers but in the quality of your mind and spirit.”

And then he disappeared.
