Parasitic organisms feast on their hosts even unto death. It's just the nature of creatures trying to survive, and the more advanced ones trying to attain pleasure.

So, since you admit to being a "creature," does this mean that you are indistinguishable from a "parasitic organism?" That there's no difference to speak of between you?

And just because you observe cats to be "just like little humans" does not make them so.

You wrote:

All creatures have wants and needs, but most of them don't have much empathy. And this world is an illustration of those facts.

Brutal facts, indeed. But can you say that this world is nothing more than a pile of such brutal facts? If it is, then why do you speak of empathy? That's not exactly a brutal fact; it's not even a "natural object" in the scientific sense.

It seems you imagine the world is, in the end, some kind of static, pointless zero-sum game.

That's interesting; but I don't know what to do with it.

Thanks for writing, A_perfect_lady!

I would be, if I found the right man. ;^)

Empathy, as far as I can tell, is a limited attribute that crops up at random intervals. But yes, I do think this list of brutal facts sums up the world. It answers all my questions.

Yes. Although I wouldn't say I "imagine" that, I'd say it's what I've observed.
