On that happy note, you could consider sleep to be like death, but without the long term commitment.
I am in awe that a few simple atoms can be assembled into the myriad of wonders on this unique (as far as we know) rock in space.
Today the news is that human endeavour is on course to screw things up big time. To my simple mind it seems that the human race is pretty clever at populating this planet. You can see its getting a bit more crowded, as in something simple like finding somewhere to live, let alone finding parking space, a hospital bed, a school place for your kids.
Big snag is the status quo makes some people very rich and they are not the people who will call a halt to economic or population growth. Apologies in advance if my thoughts upset you, rest assured I am trying to do my bit in everyday life to reduce my Carbon Footprint, Global Warming is for real.
Fewer folks would be good for the planet....most conflicts are down to the struggle for a bigger share of finite resources.
Swarfy.
