Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut 1963

"Life will make fools of us all."

The amazing thing to me about end of the world stories is how starkly they contrast with the real world.

4 billion years and counting.

Is it likely the world will end soon, on our watch? Is it likely we will actually end the world with our little machines?

The over estimation of the power of man.

How vast is the cosmos. How tiny we are. There is no comparison.
The best choice is not to curse our fate. The best choice is to stand in awe.
Praise and thanksgiving.
We get it all for nothing. It is all free. Why should we demand more?

Be thankful for what is.
