We might be dragons?

Sometimes, serious is for the birds. I've decided today is one of those days. Because I have this theory. And it will probably make you laugh.

You know how when we make fun of how old a person is we talk about how, back in their day there were no buses and they had to ride a dinosaur to school? Or sometimes we might actually call an old person a dinosaur or a fossil. I know it's ridiculous. But what if? What if?

We tend to associate dinosaurs with wild chaotic cranky attitudes when they are portrayed in books and movies. They are always angry and violent. Don't older people tend to be more frustrated, jaded and angry at life than us young ones? For most people, the longer their lives go on the worse they seem to get. With hardship after hardship is it any wonder that they become bitter and cranky? They look out for themselves and could care less about the rest. One might go so far as to say as time goes on that they start to become a bit cold blooded, like a reptile even.

As people get older their posture and bone density begin to change. The skin takes on a rough leathery appearance and feel, almost like scales. The eyesight and hearing tend to diminish and many older people become more sensitive to smells, also like many reptiles.

For some of the truly ancient among us, all of the bad experiences of their lives have warped their fragile little minds until the only things that come out of their mouths are horrible acidic declarations filled with vitriol and hate. Rather like the bite of some poisonous snakes or some other reptiles that spray their prey with poison to help take them down.

I know it is ridiculous, but what if humanity is but the first stage of our lives? What if we are all meant to be dragons, and would one day become such but for the fact that for some reason we no longer survive the process of change? What if conditions on Earth used to be different and instead of dying the old would go off to be by themselves to complete the transformation?

First we are humans, then a reptile human hybrid(this is where most of us today die) and then we become dinosaurs, before finally emerging from our evolutionary process as the perfect form, the awesome, majestic, hyper-intelligent, killing machine known as a dragon.

There are no dragons around today. But, I believe that at one point, there used to be. We know dinosaurs used to exist. There is plenty of evidence of that. Maybe they saw that conditions were changing, changing in such a way that they could no longer exist here, and they left.

There are no remnants to prove the existence of dragons,no fossils and no tar preserved corpses.But what if we, humans, are the remnants? Yes, it's insane, but what if it's true?
