It is not a long life after all

Remember those adolescence days where you could dream and dare to think that you would one day make it? Down the line, the mind just adjusts to reality. It filters out those parts of us which wanted to do something really out of the box. It tells us it is not possible. And we live on, with the hope of establishment in one stream or another.

Worth a mention here is a fungi of the cordyceps genus. It eats away the insect body and the mind just the way this society does it. the difference, cordyceps is not as subtle as our society. Or maybe a certain species can only view the destruction of another type of species.

Have a look.

"Some Cordyceps species are able to affect the behavior of their insect host"

This was what I thought could have been a better launch pad for the movie by M.Night Shyamlan , The Happening which missed the beat with an overdose of emotional heroisms. Cordyceps, upon adapting to the human brain might end up killing people.
