That's unfortunate... you might be doing yourself (and the rest of us) a grave disservice. You (your thinking) might well be the spark of the next great breakthrough in human progress.

Things will be... regardless of what We do or don't do. That's the way it is.

Yet We human beings are compelled by our very nature to explore, examine, and explain the Universe that surrounds us. We can't help ourselves, in this regard.

We came into being for this exact purpose.

It is our duty, then, to encourage our children (and one another) to ponder the makeup of things; to play with the workings of Nature; and to prepare a better place for our species to dwell and thrive.

I just prefer to ponder things a little more tangible, concrete if you will. I made through philosophy, but I hated every minute. But I do enjoy reading everyone's thoughts.
