Some create and then bicker about "Gods", for absolutely no reason other than it makes them feel special, though all it really does is separate people into more imaginary groups, when this shouldn't be the case (no offense to religious peoples reading this...This is just the way I feel). Some people seek money at all expenses, including the death of other humans and the Earth's health, just because they're selfish and greedy. And this greed is only the result of our own natural selection, since those that are greedy are more likely to survive.
I don't know...It just bothers me that more people don't think this way. Our technology and separation from nature have made us lose our natural curiosity and become monsters on this planet. It's depressing me to no end because people don't understand this.
That's why I love my TFP

I've always felt we were random...a blend of molecules that came to be...us. No divine inspiration, no hand of creation, nada. We 'won' the creationary(word?) lottery.
Whenever I feel I've gotten 'too big for my britches', I look up at the sky at night. It makes me realize just how insignificant I am in the grander scheme of things. But I also realize that I am a small pebble in a pond and the ripples I make can affect others for decades....it seems conflicting, those two lines of thinking, but they aren't. By knowing how insignificant I, as this particular blend of chemical reaction, am....I want my little ripples to do more than just quiver the algae....but I don't have any need to own the whole pond and I feel more people should realize they shouldn't need to either.
