- mewpmewp2 2y agoMakes you think how life so easily and randomly can be so different irrespective of who you are or what you do to affect you forever.
- agumonkey 2y agoit's indeed strange to realize that life / universe can crunch everything brainlessly in some spot while everything else is colorful around
- efilife 2y agoThat's the consequence of procreation
- pglevy 2y agoWas just reading this on the pain of parenting in Medea by Euripides this weekend: "Suppose that the children have grown into youth And have turned out good, still, if God so wills it, Death will away with your children's bodies, And carry them off into Hades. What is our profit, then, that for the sake of Children the gods should pile up on mortals After all else This most terrible grief of all?" I try not to think about it too much.
- shadowgovt 2y agoThis might be a topic too heavy for this venue. The thumbnail sketch is "Consult the history of human philosophy and faith and you will find people wrestling with this question ever since we could talk and write." (Personal opinion: fairness is a human construct. The universe does not care. We are the ones who make it as fair as we can.)
- dpig_ 2y agoNeil, there is a logic flaw in your little aphorism that seems quite telling. Since you and I are a part of the Universe, then we would also be indifferent and uncaring. Perhaps you forgot, Neil, that we are not superior to the Universe but merely a fraction of it. Nice day, indeed Norm Macdonald @normmacdonald - Apr 10, 2019
