A Farewell to Arms

I want to start with this quote from one of my favorite books:

"We're all going to die.We know that on an intellectual level.We figure it out sometime when we're fairly young, and it scares us so badly that we convince ourselves we're immortal for more than a decade afterward.
Death isn't something anyone likes to think about, but the fact is that you can't get out of it. No matter what you do, how much you exercise, how religiously you diet, or meditate, or pray, or how much money you donate to your church, there is a single hard, cold fact that faces everyone on earth: One day it's going to be over. One day the sun will rise, the world will turn, people will go about their routines-only you won't be in it. You'll be still. And cold
And despite every religious faith, the testimony of near-death eyewitnesses, and the imaginations of storytellers throughout history, death remains the ultimate mystery. No one truly, definitely knows what happens after. And that's assuming there is an after. We all go there blind to whatever is out there in the darkness beyond.
Death.
You can't escape it.
You.
Will.
Die.

It's a bitter, hideously concrete fact to endure."


Felt like sharing that.

Now to the real post, if any of you thought that was it. Lately, I've noticed a lot of lack of attention in our lives. No not ADD, but lack of truly opening the eyes.
If you read my previous previous post(Not the bread liquification transfer, that's a different matter), I have a strong belief that not a lot of people understand that we're on a giant lava-encrusted hunk of rock, inhabited by almost 3 billion humans and over triple that to get the amount of animals.
We inhabit a land in which we are supplied with tools for survival. Water, food, etc. Of course we have so,so much more. We can watch moving pictures, send messages to friends from miles away, and can even communicate to people in Russia. I'm even amazed as i type this.
I'm not trying to say that humans never appreciate life, or the earth, or any of that, but we don't always watch the skies to find shapes in the clouds or run around in the fields with family. We don't always see the beauty in everything. Not to be too much of an optimist, but we should be able to see beauty in a trash can.


Ignorance is bliss.

P.S. "What is love? Is it a feeling or just an emotion to define humanity? Wouldn't anger be the same as?"

Defying the Laws of the Universe...sort of.

Today, in Latin, we questioned if we could turn bread into a liquid. Throughout the day I questioned this, so when I got home, I experimented. Bread can, in fact, turn into a liquid. With some moisture, of course.

As you can tell, without moisture, bread would remain a solid. I plan on blending more things, such as onions, dog biscuits, and many other products you can find at your local supermarket. Thank you for your time and patience. I bid you farewell.
