    “Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.”

    ― Kurt Vonnegut, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater

      And it’s so damn good to be here. In the cold, in the hot, in the empty. It’s a good suffering

    We are made of star stuff, just like rocks, but we are curious and can learn. We are a way for the universe to know itself. We process matter with our industry and our digestive systems.

    Just like a spider knows how to spin a web without being taught, we carry instinctual knowledge, but we also carry cultural knowledge from our life experiences. We are like organic computers. Emotions are a different way to solve problems when our logic fails.

    All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.

    Everyone is an actor and I’m in a truman show. Except the ratings are one of five stars and nobody want to watch this shitshow and the writer are already trolling me with these ridiculous plotlines. Felon President? What next?

      You’re the second person to note the 40. I intentionally said “about”. That means anywhere from 0 to 100

        “Or less” doesn’t allow for +/- tolerances. It is a maximum tolerance of 40 or less with or without the “about.” If you meant 100 words or less you should edit the title because noone is going to get that it means 0 to 100 wprds from “about 40 words or less.”

    Chaos+ entropy+ lots of space and time. Everything is in motion of some kind. Nothing will ever be like it once was. Enjoy yourself when you can. Love your self and respect life. Be kind to those that have less than you. Look at creation and wonder.

    Reality is the matter we act upon, using energy.

    I believe it is your responsibility to properly use energy you control. Moreover, you will always have excess energy that you need to dispose of somehow (living things need to collect more energy than is absolutely required, or they risk death).

    Note that a collection of energy that is expended improperly is called a “bomb”.
