So, I don't accept it.
I just can't accept that feral cats will never learn to knit.
Sorry, not making fun of your post. I just love your tagline.

I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think so, tommyrot. Why do you think people matter? I mean, they clearly do. I am not disputing that, but do you think it's learned behavior that has a biological imperative behind it?
Well, humans are very social creatures - we tend to live in tribes or groups and cooperate to increase the odds of success for our species. And we need other people for our emotional well being. So I think that's where empathy comes from. Plus we tend to form very strong attachments to family, lovers and friends, but I guess that makes more sense in a "perpetuation of my genes" way.
gah. I'm tired, and typing whatever comes into my head....

Funny - to me it makes everything matter more intensely. To me this life is the only chance we get to make things right. (You understand here I'm articulating an emotion, not making a rational argument.) Life isn't fair; I've always accepted it; but justice can be manufactured in very small quantities with intense effort; and we need to make as much as we can - cause there is no place else to balance the books.

Actually, I believe this, too. Heaven and Hell aren't really part of my doctrine, just a vague idea that nothing is lost.

This is so well put. Just lovely.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
