The Illusion of Sanity Consumed My Time

The causeless disturbance of yearning for more continues to dominate our acts, regardless of altruistic rationalizations. Life, it seems, is consumption, elimination and procreation, so boldly exalted in the daily processes that preoccupy us. The universe is really so far beyond what any given human can comprehend, and yet, so many of us give more weight to politics and entertainment than we would ever devote to actual learning. Perhaps this is for the best, considering that truth is madness.

Everywhere is the center
Everyone is God
Each future we enter
Is meant to go on

All dreams are just one dream
Between the future and past
The present is just what seems
May or may not last

"Oh Science, lift aloud thy voice that stills
The pulse of fear"
-Lucretius (Titus Lucretius Carus) (94–55 B.C.)
