Swear to God, sometimes I think I should start up my own religion.  For me, being stuck in the gravity well of this rock (Earth) revolving around one power source (the sun) and helpless to watch as the dominant species destroys the biosphere for themselves and for so many other life forms is either a prison or Hell.  I actually look forward to shedding this flesh-bag I tool around in, just for a CHANCE of finding out what is REALLY going on.

I have my suspicions.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

Chronic pain saps the will to live.  From what you have posted, I suspect you are all too familiar with this ugly fact.  Meanwhile, take such pleasures as you may.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

Yup, but it wouldn't be so bad if the dominant species wasn't so ....

Yes, that adds the bitter to so many of our thoroughly alloyed pleasures.
