We don't live in an ideal world. Ideal, perfection, logic, rational, objective... these are generally words assigned by humans that we give to things that aren't human. We are imperfect. True love between humans is accepting the imperfections of each-other. It's unconditional, and quite frankly, it doesn't make sense.
OK, I'll give you that. It really has nothing to do with the thread, anyway... and, wait. What's love got to do with it?... and on that note, what's faith got to do with it?

Yep, but chances are someone else has their faith in the future. It's faith or drugs. You either pray shit will be better, or you distract yourself from the negative shit some other way.
I hear living in a bubble of a good job, partner and living environment also helps but I am yet to stumble upon that journey.

Apologies, my mind generally consists of Breaking Bad, and exploring space and dark matter.
Coincidentally, the dark matter in my brain consists of Breaking Bad and exploring space. Funny
Quote:Dawkins, in his 1986 book, The Blind Watchmaker:
“This book is written in the conviction that our own existence once presented the greatest of all mysteries, but that it is a mystery no longer because it is solved.”
I think that is a fallacy. 96% of this universe is unaccounted for.

I mean we didn't choose the 13.7 billion years that led to who we are in this moment. I don't blame people for the cause and effect they had to go through. I don't find them particularly arrogant or insulting. At least I don't particularly care. I'm pretty tolerant about intolerance. It evolved just like everything else.
That's an interesting viewpoint. I am too, for the most part.
