Then mockery becomes the tool of change.

Some humans are called "attractive" by other humans. It seems like a strange phenomenon where the attractive disfigure themselves with tattoos for no other reason than to become unattractive. But what happens when tattoos become attractive? How will such people disfigure themselves to become attractive then?

It's all about mating. We can't seem to help ourselves. I never had children. I shall never have children. I shall never subject my children to the shitfest that is God's world, with all the warring and destruction that results from hierarchy.

Life is evil at base. Therefore, I am evil at base. And I shall not perpetuate evil by having children.

But what about a person who is conscientious? Are such people evil? Should the conscientious not have children? Are the conscientious not good? I must not be conscientious, or else I become good, and the world is a shitfest. I shall not perpetuate the shitfest.

Jesus wanted the great to serve the poor, not the other way around. But where the great want to serve the poor, maybe they only create hierarchies to render that service. And thus "socialism" is born.

The world is a shitfest only to me. Others think the world is wonderful. Therefore, I am evil, and they are meek and have inherited the Earth. And that is as it should be.

Why should the meek not inherit the Earth? Can the world survive at the mercy of the arrogant and aggressive? Or does arrogance and aggession get the job done when it needs to be done? And are humans immutable? Can the same human not be both aggressive and meek? Can the same human not also be arrogant and humble? Or are some people "humble and arrogant" where others are "arrogant and humble"?

And are the same people both "rich" and "poor", both "masters" and "slaves"? That would be the defense of the naturally arrogant and aggressive. They would become both arrogant and aggressive and meek and passive.

And yet another division is created between 'shape shifters' and 'genuine people'. The world is a shitfest. It is designed for punishment, not for happiness. Therefore, I am evil. I am a "shape shifter" who has been exposed. But the women know, and they refuse to have anything to do with me. Therefore, I have not created children. And that is as it should be. There is nothing redeeming about this world for me. But that is only me. Not some others.

Is it mania or is it an epiphany?

Am I wrong, or am I right? Or maybe the question should be, "should" I be wrong or "should" I be right?

The world is a shitfest; therefore, I should be wrong. You are right.

If there is a God, then God made a mistake by making me. What kind of God deliberately makes mistakes? Not a "perfect" one, that is for sure.

Are humans being flushed down the evolutionary toilet for our excesses as the dominant species? Is that what a spiral galaxy is? God flushing us down the universal toilet? Does God hide his mistakes by getting rid of them? Or does God admit to his mistakes and make accommodations for them?
