    “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

    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.

              I think I would take the Rorschach test more seriously if they just stopped using erotic pictures of my mom.

    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.

      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.”
