Can I be angry at this planet?

Look: it is very primitive [with primitive humans];
and too far away from other decent civilizations!
It attempts to kill you right at birth, or even before;
throughout your life;
always;
till it succeeds.
Besides, the sunsets are delusions and too many to appreciate.

I would love to discuss this, but we will need to move to the proper section.

If you are going to be grumpy and upset, you can be grumpy and upset an anything for any reason what so ever.

On the other hand, life can be an adventure. It is all a matter of how you personally look at it.
“What do you think science is? There is nothing magical about science. It is simply a systematic way for carefully and thoroughly observing nature and using consistent logic to evaluate results. So which part of that exactly do you disagree with? Do you disagree with being thorough? Using careful observation? Being systematic? Or using consistent logic?�

An excellent point. I just wish I could think of more adventurous things. :D

What limits your thinking? Could it be religious dogma?
