Life, The Universe and Everything

When you think about it the Universe is a pretty odd place. I mean, here we are, stuck on this rock for no paricular reason completely at the mercy of any passing asteroids or black holes. We have little or no idea how the whole Universe thing is put together or how it works and if there is anything looking in from somewhere else and having a giggle at our stupidity. Chances are that it is all meaningless. This thought loop is so depressing that most people choose not to think about it most of the time and just get on with the being alive part or they make stuff up without proof to make them feel better and give them something to do on a weekend. The being alive part consists of breathing, food, drink, sleep, sex, house, job, car, sport, shopping, TV and pyramid teabags. Instead of getting together and working out how to pass things around evenly so we all have it half good the system is rigged so that some people get rich and powerfull and never have to worry about anything other than how to stay rich and powerfull and most of the rest of the world are just slaves of one form or another. The world gets by and keeps itself busy by having wars and terrorism and arguments over territory like two neighbours coming to blows over the height of a hedge. And the number one reason to fight is over which theory of it all based on no evidence is right which surely proves that we are just slightly smarter than chimps and confirms that it is all just meaningless evolution from some gunk in a puddle with no higher purpose. Still, you've got to laugh.
