  • The universe is kind of a bummer

    Born into this world we have no notion of what's up. When we learn what's up we learn that we will die, that many people are born into difficult circumstances, that there are too many of us. We could have been born into a world, a universe, without any of these and many other things, war, nukes, black holes, earthquakes, whatever, but we weren't.

    I don't want her to ever learn these things because I don't want them to be real. I want the world to be good, and not a bummer so that she won't be disappointed. However, that's not in my power, is it? ...and that's a bummer too.

    It could have been anything, why this?

    Remember, even when the world isn't good, hearts can still be good.

                    I have yet to see anything that suggests to me that the Universe had a creator at all.

                    Let alone whether that creator was a sodomite.

                        The universe is oppressing us via laws of nature. Has anyone ever voted for the universe telling us what to do??

                          I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

                            True, the world is far from perfect.
                            But if it were perfect, we couldn't work to make it a better place.
                            And making the world a better place is the fun part.
