"The world is so exquisite with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there's little good evidence. Far better it seems to me, in our vulnerability, is to look death in the eye and to be grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides."

~Carl Sagan

Statements like this make me equal parts joyful and angry. Joyful because I find it to be personally true. Angry because to even flirt with this thought seems an unutterable luxury to which not everyone has access.
