Some quick thoughts from a mammal's brain

I was just about to fall asleep when I realized that I hate you. But that doesn't matter because tommorow I might love you or maybe it'll happen a day or a week after that. Nothing in this world is constant. What is here today will truly be gone tommorow. And it is impossible to hold on to anything too good for long so enjoy it while it is there. But the good things wouldn't exist without the bullshit. Yes, all the negative is bullshit. Your bills are the physical manifestations of the government's reaming on your asshole, sliding it and out with every payment (bullshit). Your girlfriend problems are the result of something stupid you said speaking with either your dick or your ego and if it's her fault it's because she is insecure or she's bipolar or she has to drag you down to feel better about herself (either way it's still bullshit). You failed your class because you drank too much (bullshit). Anyway I think you get my point. So if the negative aspects of your life consist primarily of bullshit upon layers of bullshit then isn't there a way to just cut that out? NO. You yourself can cut the bullshit out, but you will never be able to help those around you. They are so caught up in getting ass, and getting paid, and getting even, and getting home, and getting old that your life will never be in balance. This life needs that bit of complete dissaray to work. And, ultimately, that's the beautiful thing about all of our misfortunes. Human's are pack animals. We need each other to survive and continue the species. Over time we apparently evolved to feel empathy. I believe this to be both a positive and negative attribute towards the personality of the common human. On the positive end, when we are empathetic towards someone else we can help them and they don't put a semi-automatic carbine powered rifle to their face and pull the trigger. On the negative end, we tend to be burdened by other people's problems. We can't rest easy if somone we care about is in peril. If we did not fear for the safety of this person, we wouldn't lift a finger to help and our own safety would be assured. But if they die off, our chances for survival are reduced. So there's the bitch. We actually NEED each other. And if there was a solid movement for people to get along and feel for each other enough to stop wasting time worrying over the minor problems we have created for ourselves, the earth might live to see 5 billion years. (Don't right me comments on the innaccuracy of that estimate, you get my point and I don't care how much you learned in Geology) What I'm getting at is that much of your world is an illusion put there by either yourself or some asshole before you who really didn't know what he or she was saying. The sun doesn't go down, it's just an illusion created by the world spinning. But its beautiful to watch, isn't it? Apply that theory to everything else and you will have summed up the high's and low's of living on a planet tainted by the human race. We take pleasure in that which isn't real and in things that are fleeting. So forget you're worries, they are just as fake as the night sky. It isn't dark, you just turned your back on the sun.
