It’s chemical soup animated by electricity. Everything our bodies do is in response to some preceding event. You’re alive because of an unbroken chain of life stretching back to the simplest natural chemical reactions. It’s been a nonstop craving for energy and resources ever since then.

Humans give themselves far too much credit. Everything living on the planet is equally just as alive as any of us. We share a massive amount of genetic similarities to not just animals, but also plants and fungi. I’m not saying we should sacrifice a human life for that of a fly, but rather that, to the fly, it’s life is just as meaningful and important as ours. Our existence is barely a blip in the planets history.

The dinosaurs spent millions of years dominating the Earth. How can we say, in our measly 200,000, that we are Gods favorite and uniquely bestowed a soul? What right have we to claim to be so elevated above all other life on Earth? We eat, breathe, die, the same as everything else in this world. The passage of time is unavoidable. “My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings…”

I haven’t had real friends in years.

I think you might have changed my entire life.

I hadn’t considered that being okay for myself.
