The snails world vision seems different of the human one.
Snails understand the “world life” as a kind of society game.
The thing is : “These game rules are not written anywhere”.
It’s kind of part of the game to find it, to be able to play together.
Have a try…
Imagine several games with this same next tools :
- A giant tray
- A giant cone
The game is supposed to represent the way you want to build your society.
Humans game rules :
Humans seem prefer to play a winning losing game.
I don’t know why, but humans like competitions.
So the first game rules are :
Manage to be the one on the highest place on the tray.
The few at the top win. The many at the bottom lose.
We need losers to have a winner.
Snails game rules :
To win, manage to keep everybody on the tray.
Everybody win or everybody lose.
The required ability in this world is balance…
…find your balance in everythings.
But have you imagine how the human game will look like in long term ?
The only one at the top is he in a better situation than others ?
Do you think he is really winning something on long term ?
Do you think a winning losing game could work ?
Humans social game : a winning/losing game
Human seems to play a winning/losing game.
They believe than to win, others have to lose.
Which look quite sad for a snail like me.
Because that means than only few “life beings” (human, animal, or whatever…) can be happy on this earth. That means that most of “life beings” has to lose in this story.
Snails really don’t understand, these games rules.
We cannot understand even how the few winners can feel winning living in a story that sad. How can they don’t feel lonely after had put their whole energy to win against others. And finally to receive mostly jealousy from others and constant fear to lose what they so difficulty succeeded to get.
The ones than we all call “winners” aren’t they the bigger losers in this story ?
They are the ones who had consume their entire energy and life to win the game, to achieve it.
They are the ones who will don’t find anythings making them feeling better at the end.
Even worse, if they are at this point (being the “winners”), that means than they still haven’t learned any lesson of it. That’s means there still are unaware of what is happening to them. And they will indefinitely keep going is this terrible spiral.
Snails don’t see them like « winners » or « losers », but as kids…
Snails social games : a group game with a collective issue
Snails can’t believe in the posibility than the “world life” are a winning/losing game.
They are pretty sure than the rules look more at somethings like :
“Everyone win or everyone lose. Between this two points, the game keeps going”.
That probably are an endless game, but that seem to make a lot more sens from snails point of view.
In the Snail language the word “SELFISH” doesn’t exist.
Because, in the snail world “selfishness” doesn’t have a sens.
For snails, being what human call “selfish” (or say differently a person who only think at herself) is the most altruist attitude than someone can have.
Snails strongly believe than no duty is as important as to be happy.
For the story :
The first time than my friend Lilo hear about it was in winter. She found this learning in a Christmas chocolate. She read it, ate it and dropped it.
That’s it ! Almost…
A day later, she couldn’t shift this message of its mind away. It interpellated her.
So, she had to empty the whole rubbish bin, to find it and to read it again.
She kept it, and she started to understand life from this new point of view.
From this moment until now and again, she started to experiment it, to properly learn it and print it on her.
I think this chocolate was hugely changing its life, because of the “causes/consequences successions”, “butterfly effect” or “Karma”…
That’s funny how human can put important messages in things seeming almost useless to them. It’s lucky for Lilo, to have got this chocolate. And it’s lucky than she haven’t judge herself too strongly as a “crazy person” the day later, when she decided to empty her rubbish bin, just to find again a chocolate paper.
The morality to remember of this story is than each life moment is important. Each present moment is changing your life, any time !
Why the world “selfish” doesn’t exist in snail language ?
Snails try to understand humans, so they turned the questions in both sens :
- Can we do things for others without any personals intentions ?
- Can we do things for ourselves without any benefits for others?
At the first question, snails will definitely answer NO !
Anythings we do for others will at list procure at yourself a proud feeling.
Mostly, that make you feel happy. And quite lot more than when we are doing something directly for ourselves.
At the second question, snails will still answer NO.
Anything good for you, help your happiness.
And happiness is contagious and provide good vibes around you.
That’s why snails strongly believe than no duty is as important as to be happy.
If we really look for things than we can do without any personal interest, we can find up examples. But, we realize than theses examples don’t present any interest : neither for ourselves, neither for others as well.
What’s the point ? No one will do that consciously.
Some humans imagined social games too :
Ğéconomicus is a game imagined to compare relations between people when they change the rules of their exchange tool (the money).
Today moneys are massive tools to simplify exchanges and to make link between people when they are many.
They are convenient tools, but most of them work on a winning/losing sytem.
That is affecting a lot the way people make link together.
So, some humans, managed to build a different money. One without bank to expect a collective issue.
They call it a « free money ». The first one and for the moment the only one, exist since mars 2017. It is call the Ğ1.
Lilo and me just heard about it recently in August 2019.
The funniest things, it’s than they invented the social game “Ğéconomicus” to help people understand it,
It’s playing in two part :
- The first one is showing our current system, which is a winning/losing system.
- The second uses the « free money », which has a collective issue.
Observing people playing, we can understand and really see the next things : people get more fun in the second game part and make more wealth as well.
That a great start.
We maybe can go further.
