People Suck

Today after spending a lot of time reading through news, I can't shake the sad feeling that people aren't that great. Or at least perhaps we have the potential to be great, we just aren't aware/too wrapped up in being the person with the most shiny stuff.

As far as we know, we are the only truly intelligent beings. Hopefully there are more somewhere in the universe, but at the moment there is no evidence.

Now being the only creatures to have the ability to create (as far as we know) we are in a unique position to protect life. The odds in the universe are severely stacked against the continued existence of life. Our ability to manipulate the environment around us means we have the potential for safeguarding life, and fighting against the apparent chaos of the universe.

In science fiction, there is frequently an advanced race whose agenda is that of keeping balance and protecting life.

Could we be that race?

If so perhaps we should start with our own planet, no one else is going to protect it for us now are they?

Attempt at a new start.

Ok, so I am in desperate need of finding some satisfaction in life. I feel that my personal needs to be satisfied with life are a little bit different to the majority, and this makes it difficult to find a good direction.

There are some things I love ie: Music, Computers/Games, Nature/Science and generally creating things.

Now I would like to try and earn my living by doing something that in some way incorporates all of that.... To top that off I very much desire being my own boss and being able to decide when and where I work.

I am on a serious mission now to achieve my goals, the internet is looking like the place that may hold the answer.

Blog = my diary/notepad/work book, everything. I got bits and pieces everywhere and would like to centralise the things I do and the information I gain. Since I like the name of this blog, this will be my starting place. This is day 0 of my quest.
