That's the fundamental fact that takes away all the beauty and mystery in life: in the end, everything is decay and excrement. One either seeks the belief that this birth and decay cycle is part of a larger divine plan, or sit there, and excrete some more.
Stop complaining, god created all of that and saw that it was good. It's one of it's more mystifying decisions..since, despite that missive about animals and how true it is for animals, we know that this creature also understands and can create autotrophs....and there are more autotrophs in the world than heterotrophs. I do agree, though, that some people are compelled to invent soul forges in order to give their lives (and especially any pointless suffering) meaning which it does not have. Massive cope.
