sometimes ridiculous

everything is perspective... the amount of time we are alive in this life is infinitesimal when viewed in geological or astronomical perspectives... compare 100 years to 4,500,000,000 years... both approximations for the life of a human and the life of this planet Earth... and the universe is three times older than the Earth, again estimating... and was there nothing before the universe?... i doubt it, as nothing comes from nothing, as far as we know (and size is an even more perspective dependent theory, concept, and reality)... and that is the rub upon rub upon rub, everything we know could be wrong, or at least a whole lot of it... not even counting all the delusions accepted as truths and all the other mental illnesses distorting human knowledge even more (it is amazing humans have survived as long as they have, whether you think it is thousands or millions of years, but those are other stories), ya know?... ultimately, knowledge is sometimes ridiculous and humans are even more ridiculous when we think we actually know anything beyond the shadow of doubt...

i mean, are butterflies really free?...
