Precarious Existence
In a tone of breathless wonder I wonder to myself how amazing the fact is that any one of us is actually alive. Ok let me start from the beginning...after realizing that human beings are one of the deadliest species on the planet and that we keep making other species extinct and spreading our junk all over the place...I began to think about the fact that nature allows us to exist.

Of course, I have no statistical evidence to support the following monograph, but still I press on...
Consider the fact that we live on land. In a very narrow temperature belt (a few degrees here and there and we cant live in that place), subsist on fresh water which is like (said like a blonde cheerleader) only 1% of the total water on the planet and out of that fresh water only 1% is actually drinkable by us. And then you have to consider that we dont have any natural defences and taste pretty good but yet nobody preys on us. And also, we are at the top of the food chain so pretty much depend on everything else for a living (while we are actually killing off everything, our source of subsistence). So amazing huh? And then the fact that so many earth altering events are just waiting to happen like meteors crashing into the earth and active volcanos like the one under Yellowstone Park in the US (if it exploded it would take all of America with it and cast a cloud over the rest of the world for like about a 100 years) all of which could just reset the whole shebang to absolutely zero and theres nothing we can do about it!!

So the next time you are having a shitty day or are bored of work or whatever...just think you are lucky to be alive and well and eating that animal / plant which was killed specially for you. Then you wont feel so...

Oh yeah..I have other theories on mans evolution all of which are plagiarised from other people but more on that later...
