Life is serious, but it's also ridiculous...
We're all stuck in the middle of this life, and are forced to take it very seriously. If we don't, reality will soon show us the folly of doing so. But take a minute sometimes to take a step back from the day-to-day battles and look at just how ridiculous it all is. If we weren't stuck right smack-bang in the middle of it all, human existence would seem so absurd as to be outrageous.
Despite puffing ourselves up in self-importance, we are all pretty pathetic creatures really. We cling desperately to life on the surface of this planet, completely at the mercy of nature. Take away the oxygen in our atmosphere, the warmth of our surrounding, or the food in our bellies and we'd soon find out just how important and powerful we are.
