An Open Letter to God.
So here’s the deal, we’ve been here a while doing great things and…eh things, but there’s always been that trickling or gushing concern about why.
We’re amazing, when you stop to think about it, the things I can think and do are staggering, I’m constantly in awe of the fact that I can wiggle my fingers. But why?
It’s often (and beautifully, seriously, watch that) suggested that it’s the journey and not the destination that’s important, and while I can wholeheartedly agree that this experience is amazing and worthwhile in itself, there are other beings equal in every way to myself whose lives are filled only with pain and hunger. If there is a creature somewhere, lining up dominoes of lives and be-ings, that’s just cruel.
Didn’t find any odd IP’s in the logs, so I’m not sure if you’re subscribed, but there’s been a slew of these “open letters” recently and maybe they work for something.
