Dear subject:
Sadly, what you write has a ring of truth to it. So, why do we continue on?
Why have humans reproduced for thousands of years. Don't think it was for the pure joy of sex. Don't give up just yet. There are too many unanswered questions.
I remember thinking during my college years that all higher education was only good because it taught you that there were places to look for the answers to questions.
I find life interesting because I am still looking and curious.
Some of the answers make on proud and in awe of the life and times we are in just now.
I am not happy with the world's family units just now. They seem to be losing their values. But, I am positive that a VAST number of humanity are good people. Damn the small number who make life terrible for the rest of us.
One last point (for now) I am old, I have been fortunate enough to travel the world and I say that the common people are good if governments would let them alone. This is still one of the best places in the world to live. IT REALLY IS!!
