It's so weird how we move through life like it's no big deal, like "Yeah, just a toothy, fingery ape monster who consumes the life force of other organisms and excretes them out its anus walking around and looking at stuff in a universe that nobody understands, whatever."
Like, we get THIS. This strange, shimmering, mysterious world full of flying feather beasts and air we breathe parts of into our bloodstreams and electromagnetic radiation which we process with our ocular organs, and people are still waiting around for a miracle.
The miracle already happened. The miracle is here. What's already happening currently dwarfs any miracle anyone is currently praying for by infinity orders of magnitude. And we only get a few years here. So like, I dunno, maybe let's worry less about wrong people on the internet.
By all means push for changes in this world. But never lose sight of the fact that the Really Big Deal in any given moment is not whatever change you're trying to make, but the fact that this world is here at all, and that you get to stand up and look around in it for a while.
