6. Animal Karma
What if, after we died, we became the animal most resembling us, where we would feel most at home - in a land, with no people, where the environment has not been contaminated and humanity is not fighting with everything on the planet. Now nature would still be contrary - hurricanes, earthquakes, climate change would still occur, survival of the fittest would be in play, and each species would have its natural advantages and weaknesses. In this case, the Wall Street, corporate shark, types would become the eagles, the whales, lions, the real sharks, the top of the food chain. The family loving people, who adore hanging out and having fun in a group, would become meerkats, ducks or elephants. The romantics would be swans, while the playful lovers are otters. Artists become spiders making intricate webs, while the loners are cats or snakes. Those who loved order and peace, become part of a colony of bees or ants. Models morph into flamingos, peacocks and butterflies. So on, and so forth; everyone is where they are the happiest and where they belong. Even those humans, who took advantage and dealt in lies, have their place - as the scavengers - the vultures, the bottom feeders - while the creatures loathed by all, the scum of the earth, come back as cockroaches and termites.
