Earth is neat; it has cool terrain and is the only planet known to be capable of supporting life and also does. However, the humans who seek to cause harm to other humans tend to make this place suck for most humans and carnivory sucks for every animal and human hunted and disease sucks for everyone.

The world is virtually everything we can think of, good or bad. And a lot in life depends on how you see it.

Man sometimes this place seems so gloomy but all of the realism is lifting my spirits this morning. I like the way the rain sounds, and the way it smells. It's cold and rainy out and it's beautiful. I liked seeing glimpses of the stars through a somewhat cloudy sky last night. It is what is and I like what I see from my position in the world. On the world? In and on? On Earth? OK the inflammation in my spirits is going down. Must. Find. Coffee.

Think positive or you are in for a world of pain.

How am I supposed to think positive when there is probably not enough beer in this world to make me forget about the hell I was born into.........speaking of which:

Unfortunately I don't have much of a filter.

No point. Majority suffering. When you're gone you take nothing with you and the best you can say of the pursuits you follow are that they're to offer a less painful tomorrow or at a minimum give you some task to keep from going mad. Even when given luxury and an all expenses paid trip - the human animal itself can't handle it, and it seems like the feelings, the five or six senses however you'd want to count or divide them, and of course the 46 cruel taskmasters in each cell of our being - determine that this is about the extent of what we'll ever have so long as they're in control.

I like the natural world quite a lot, and am also glad to be at the top of the food chain.
I like society much less.

But where would you be without all the technology? unless you can go out into the wilderness and survive without the use of modern technology you're not actually on top of the food chain.

Excellent video.

By the way: poverty is up in the USA.

“I have always swung back and forth between alienation and relatedness. As a child, I would run away from the beatings, from the obscene words, and always knew that if I could run far enough, then any leaf, any insect, any bird, any breeze could bring me to my true home. I knew I did not belong among people. Whatever they hated about me was a human thing; the nonhuman world has always loved me. I can't remember when it was otherwise. But I have been emotionally crippled by this. There is nothing romantic about being young and angry, or even about turning that anger into art. I go through the motions of living in society, but never feel a part of it. When my family threw me away, every human on earth did likewise.”
― Wendy Rose

Our capacity to make fire and to fashion crude weapons such as spears positions us, more or less, at the top of the food chain; and, these aren't exactly what I would call modern technologies. :)
