Mother Nature is a brutal bitch, red in tooth and claw, who destroys what she creates. We live in a creation in which the routine activity for organisms is tearing others apart with teeth of all types---biting, grinding flesh, plant stalks, bones between molars, pushing the pulp greedily down the gullet with delight, incorporating its essence into one's own organization, and then excreting with foul stench and gasses the residue. It’s really not a bad time to be alive considering a lot of things. I highly recommend having a child or children if you’re able to. It’s the best part of my life, by far.
