It is truly amazing the fine balance on which we walk. The feats of the greatest tightrope walker look pale and simple compared with the awesome task of balancing SOMETHING on the pinhead of reality surrounded by infinite NOTHING. Even still more amazing is that in this delicate SOMETHING consciouness should arise, like little pools reflecting back the infinite void of NOTHING. On our planet we feel safe and secure, stable, whilst we hurtle through space at break neck speeds never certain when the next collision will be. In the brief period we smugly call "history" the climate has been somewhat favorable to our continued existance, but there is no reason to imagine it should remain that way indefinately. But then do we really have a little ball of mud called "Earth"? Is "reality" really real? how can one ever know anything objectively when all ones senses are subjective? the only certain truth is to be found looking in. So look inside yourself and see if you exist...

I'm sure Jean-Paul Sartre would agree with the last bit!
