Your view, while I see some merits contained within it, in the face of the species overflowing the limits of equilibrium, the ecosystem, is definitely opposed to all life, yet it's that podium of life on which you stand making your claim, hypocritical?, contradictory?, irrational?

For one who's life is so abysmal, they should either attempt to improve it, enjoy bitching about it, therein finding their joy (kinda weird), or induce the sleep of no dreaming. I think the more sane choice, knowing the universe for what it is, is the former, as it's the only choice that requires any real work. No one here is just simply lazy, are they? Some people feed on challenge, definitely not afraid of it. How about you? Do you like competing in anything, other than this argument?
