OOhhh!...pretty..

Who doesn't enjoy beautiful things?
I think about that,and then I think about why we even have a perception of it.
I mean,all things being equal in a world that holds a preference for the survival of the fittest,it would make much more sense to just concentrate on the fundamental concerns of simply staying alive,and propagating the species.
Birds do it.
Bees do it.
Birds and bees and flowers and trees.
..and then I think about that,and it's beautiful.

There is symmetry there,in the finely tuned balance that ties even the lesser of God's creatures,to the infinite expanse of the universe.

But still,why should I even stop to consider this?
It doesn't put food on the table.It won't guaranty my offspring will make it through the Winter.In point of fact,what with the hostile nature of,..well,..everything,taking even the briefest moment to stop and smell the roses is almost certainly a fool's mission.

'Here lies Sling.
He dropped his guard for an instant,
..and got hit by a bus'.

But that's okay.
Living by bread alone,isn't really living.
