To Merely Be

Sometimes we step back and wonder what the purpose of Zombies or Sasquatch or Unicorns would be; what their place would be in the food chain, or how they would impact their environment. Would they be predators or prey? If they were real, how have we not found them for surely they (well maybe not unicorns) would be the predators and be monstrous creatures of destruction. There should be a path of broken things and destruction in their wake. But what if they have no large life altering purpose - at least in the sense that we assume. What if they exist, only they aren't taking large steps to alter the world or destroy what they find? Maybe their existence merely is and they have no ulterior plans or motives of destruction. And then, after consideration, are we, the humans, the only ones that actively seek to alter our environment and tear things down? Are we the only ones to kill for sport and not defense or survival? Would we be the only real life monsters even if these creatures did exist since we have no desire to merely be, but want to rule it all, and they have no such qualms about a simple existence. Types of creatures that have hardly any impact and therefore hardly any of our attention or consideration do exist. We simply fail to notice them. Maybe we have failed to notice these supposed monsters because they are like the creatures that we fail to notice already - the merely existing creatures. Here is a creature that merely is; have you heard about it before, or has it been beneath our notice due to its lack of world altering agendas?
