    This a very weak version of my Allegory of the Clouds. I have to re-edit the writen version and the typed one and converge them both... This is the typed one::

    Ignorance can be compared to clouds that float across the sky. These clouds of ignorance are easily manipulated by the force of wind, which represents change. Because these clouds do not have a definite defined path across the sky they appear to clumsily move around guided by the winds of change. With out knowledge or awareness of truth people are much like these clouds, easily moved by change. The sun, which in contrast, has a definite and permanent course through the sky. Whether the sun is covered by the thick clouds of ignorance or not it is always there, never changing. Sometimes the clouds gather by the force of wind and block out the sun stopping nature from basking in the nourishing light of the sun. During these times of storms, violence breaks out towards the land and it is denied the power of the sun. The forests accept that they cannot stop the wind or even control the clouds. These organisms therefore remain at the lowest of levels of enlightenment, accepting that any attempt bask in the light indefinitely is futile. The stars are constantly chasing after the light to join in the glory of enlightenment. However, they are fixed in the darkness of their ignorance but are only made aware of the truth only by seeing the effects the truth has on others. Therefore, these stars chase the sun out of the sky out of pure jealousy. The moon, which joins in the sky with the sun, is the closest to attaining pure enlightenment, it knows of the sun, and it knows about the sun. It joins the stars at night to try to spread the knowledge of the sun’s light. However, almost all of the fixed stars are unable to believe or join in light of the sun with the moon. Only a select few are able to find and bask in the light with the moon. The moon, then, is found to be the most highly aware and wise of the entire spectrum.

    Without the mitigating effects of clouds there would be no life on this planet.

    Without changes in weather and moisture content and release of clouds this planet would bake in to a hard crusty substance. Never studied the physical sciences?

    Aren't you the individual that wanted only the educated and intellectual to rule the world and planet? Or are you the reincarnation of one of the Egyptian pharaohs that worshipped the sun?
