You claim to be a man of "observation" yet you cannot understand pity?
Your life is built around your immediate surroundings. Nothing more.
I bet you never once enjoyed a Thanksgiving until you sat down to eat. And then, upon finishing, you went back to not enjoying it.
You have no anticipation of family, of gathering, of things to be grateful for.
I ask this, after having read what I just wrote: What loss did you suffer in your life that made you so jaded to the possibility of love from someone you don't even know?
my belief in evolution is based on faith as well. but i also have concrete evidence in support of it. i believe in all of these things. they give me strength and the courage to soldier on, as they say.
but my faith ends at religion. that is a leap i cannot make. i give thanks every day for all that i have. but i believe that i control my own destiny. and i believe my own existence is the product of pure and utter chance. billions of events happened independently and i am one of the products. that is truly a miracle. every one of us is a walking miracle. and evolution is the proof of that.
