A Discourse Upon the Hypothetically Spiritual Nature of Houseflies

I have found that all one truly needs to go through to the ends of one's life reasonably happy, content and secure within themselves is a conscious possession of the wherefores and whys of an ethical joie de vivre. Many people, myself included, like to augment this with the possession of at least One Space System, or if you will, possession of an inner-relationship with at One or More forms (in some form or another) of Spiritual Cosmology. This enables one to feel themselves working positively through to the completion of a goal for the sake of all living matter whilst simply attempting to accurately live one's own life "correctly." Obviously this is a very shallow, and only partial description, but this is a short piece, and though there is far more to it than just all of that, this description will suffice for this discussion about any gnosis (hypothetically) within the possession of houseflies.          
         
Houseflies have a great deal of nervous system relative to their body mass. For all we know their thoughts are vast. Their eyes are large. Possible to see a lot of light, with eyes so big.          
         
I might posit that right now some housefly somewhere could be holding forth before itself upon a discourse of its own regarding the hypothetically spiritual nature of those bigger creatures, the ones who are always leaving behind such huge quantities of sustenance. They both live and travel around in nests composed of materials not obviously found lying about within the rest of nature. What are we to make of this? Given the quantities of unnatural materials with which they themselves are surrounded, are we to suspect these larger creatures of having access to the higher natural realms yet, or are they mere automatons who spend all their thought upon dredgework amidst the lower realms?

Author's Note
Inspired by another member's speculations upon the lives of houseflies. The image is a screenshot of my comment on their poem, translated with googlelens (because fun and interesting) into Amharic and then back into English 🤷‍♀️
