And yet, life is called a gift.

"Gift" is a German word that means poison

Life seems like the result of such an unlikely complex Rube Goldberg machine where everything was just right to let life start then survive for a very long time. Plus we are made of various elements that had to be created in some of the universe’s biggest explosions.

It seems then that life should be something to be cherished while we briefly have it. I try to do just that.

…then we get to watch people around the world working hard to make life worse for those around them.
