We preach morality and purpose but in reality we live, eat, fuck and die.
Because we’re aware of our mortality, we get attached to the idea of final salvation: moderns want it via infinite progress in science and tech, Christians want it via the second coming of Jesus and spiritualists want it by becoming one with the self.

Nature moves on with or without us, and with or without humanity.
We’re special only in our own eyes.
We’re not the masters of the universe but universe is our master.
