I have infinitely more general interest in the world around me than perseverance to properly study it. I'm fickle, a sufferer of 'momentary awe syndrome' at everything from our universal insignificance, the wonder of our biology and our fragile planets ecology or the unquestionable splendour of our natural beauty and rich species. Similarly I'm appalled by our absurd modern world with its lorded technological advances, population mind control through propaganda resulting in an obvious yet hushed societal regress. I’m moved to do absolutely nothing whatsoever about it.
Like many middle aged middle class family men I worry. About the future, financial security, long term health, marital harmony and the prospects for my beautiful children in a tumultuous world. I'm an atheist but need the comforts of religion and envious of those whom get consolation from their spirituality. I'm more astrology than mythology and the worse for it.
Yet, tomorrow I'll awake to a golden warm Australian sun, walk to the beach, swim in the ocean, play with my dog and be home to the tinkling din of two golden haired children, a warm hearted wife, plentiful food, love and a good, no GREAT life.
