Sometimes I feel as if The Universe does NOT have MY best interests in mind

Stephen Crane summed that thought up perfectly:

A man said to the universe:
"Sir I exist!"
"However," replied the universe,
"The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation."

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Perfect! Anyone that thinks differently is a FOOL.

Don’t get me wrong; I take good care of the plot of land G-d (and my tax-collecting State) have temporarily ‘loaned’ to me. It’s the best thing I can do; creating a Paradise on Earth for the remaining time I still have here.

You know, until space travel becomes an everyday thing. ;)
