I agree, but as F. Scott Fitzgerald once wrote "The test of a first rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function."

Why that weird quote you ask? Well for me there is a duality to my life. I am the fortunate result of a billion years of physical and chemical interactions too complex to comprehend. My lineage traces all the way back to the primordial ooze and every individual on that lineage existed long enough to reproduce before being cast aside to the in-terminal void of unknowable history. The end result being me.

Thats wonderful.

But at some level we have to acknowledge (Or perhaps I'm on my own on this one) that sometimes life can be boring, sometimes it can drag along in mundane cycles; sometimes you have to consider the possibility that you exist merely as a delivery mechanism for your genes. That your hopes and dreams for life don't figure into any equation except your own. I'm not talking about momentary moods of despair, I'm talking about fundamental truths to your existence which are just as pertinent as the fact you are born from dying stars.

"Seize the day, Carpe Diem!" people cry. Sometimes I think "Dont seize it, just leave it where it is, its fine over there"
