Silly Planet!

Prompt: Planet Janet. You have inherited a newly discovered planet. What does it look like? Weather? Rules? Tell me about it!

-------------------

My planet would be earth-like, except its natural system would be very different. In it, nothing would need to survive by eating anything else. Even if something did eat something else, this abominable action would lead to its demise. Where nourishment is concerned, just breathing the air would feed all living things. I would also like rocky tall mountains and flowing water and oceans. I would like the denizens of this planet to have larger and more complex brains and be more oriented in thinking smartly so they won’t hurt, kill, or fight with each other.

But what am I doing talking about this planet? Except for a passing whim that led me to the astronomy club in school way back when, what do I know about planets? Granted two earthlike ones have been recently discovered. Or people think they discovered them. Who knows, maybe the universe is a huge, many-sided mirror and they have seen the reflected images of the earth.

If I am correct and there are no other habitable planets besides what we have here, then, when what we have lives out its course, we are all doomed. So we might as well be ready for Armageddon, don’t you think?
