The whole of life is just like watching a film. Only it's as though you always get in ten minutes after the big picture has started, and no-one will tell you the plot, so you have to work it out all yourself from the clues.

Marvin droned,
Now the world has gone to bed,
Darkness don't engulf my head,
I can see by infrared,
How I hate the night.

Now I lay me down to sleep,
Try to count electric sheep,
Sweet dream wishes you can keep,
How I hate the night.

An Impossible Thought Experiment:
"Design a spaceship that carries Humans to a Neutron Star. Land on its surface safely. Drill through it to reach its core and come back safely to Earth. This is a reply to those people who literally say "Nothing is Impossible". Even a Type-VII Alien Civilization can never do it".

Empathy (The ability to Feel Someone's Pain) is one of the main Attributes that makes us Human. The Moment when you start Enjoying the Suffering of other People Only because they Do Not belong to your Community, then you Lose the Most Important thing inside you, which is Your Heart ❤️.

Not that he had anything against belief. People needed to believe in gods, if only because it was so hard to believe in people.

This quote resonates... especially now.
Sometimes it feels like I'm existing in my own little silo for self-preservation.
