Embrace the fact that conscious life and its happiness and the ability to sit and think and opine on philosophy are fleeting and temporary in a world ruled by brutal darwinism. It is sewn into the fabric of our existence, our very beings, we were never going to stop it. You may disapprove, but this does not mean you should work yourself up and spend your limited life gnashing your teeth over it.

We are like frogs in a newly formed ox bow lake, freed from the burden of migratory fresh water fish. The frogs are happy for a time.
