Hi Matt
In a book I read there was this thing from Schopenhauer, which went something like........."It is said that the amount of joy in this world equals the amount of suffering. To test the truth of this assertion we need only examine the situation where one animal is eating another."
Very funny.
Loving life seems to be the great vitue, I dunno why. I don't see why you have to love it, it's just what there is. It's reasonable to say it would have been better to have never been born. Shows you're not a robot.
