More fascinating than deplorable.

I'm a specific being. Able to identify myself. Aware. Alive. Conscious. Makes me unique. Separates me from you and the other billions of people on Earth. Of course, my perception may be a grand illusion. But if so, I've been adequately fooled. Doesn't matter. The important thing.  I feel like a specific living and thinking being. With a given name. An identity. A supposed proof that I exist. A million years from now. There's likely to be no proof. Wouldn't surprise me if Earth was completely void of human life. Maybe there won't be an Earth no more.  A thought more fascinating than deplorable. --Jim Broede
