I think this sort of stuff all the time, almost as is we are comparable to cell within the human body asking "why are we here", "what is the meaning of all of this", and also "I better be careful what I eat and who I sleep with in case someone outside of this cell finds out". Put in such perspective, these questions become meaningless, though interesting all the same. Darwin was to right, there is granduer in this view of things, and the sooner we as a human species understand this and grow up the sooner we can really start to ask more important question, then human-centric ones. Also for the post about his wife possibly leaving him as a scenerio. Its life, he doesnt have to pray to some human war crimes fellow in the sky to find consolations. We find it within ourselves, our friends, and ultimately in the knowledge that this moment is just a fleeting one in time, and that soon enough all that ever was will be gone, all our troubles buried, all our woes back to cosmic dust which made us.'

Not what loves you,” I would like to propose a quote (from the Bible) instead: "Contentment with godliness is great gain." If your "lovely wife" were to become discontent with you for any reason, and your marriage became filled with discontentment as a result of it, how would you acquire great gain from it? If you were in an automobile accident, and couldn't satisfy her any longer as a result, how would your feel if she responded to you by not loving you any more, and what would you try to do to reverse the situation?

Not what loves you." by Charlie Kaufman Happy Birthday. I'm sure your parents had three or more wise visitors on that who came bearing gifts. That makes you a messiah! (hopefully those gifts were more useful than Myrrh and Frankincense) A quote comes to mind:
