In other words what keeps you going ? Discovering new things and communicating at all times does it for me. You?
Mhmm. Not sure. I suppose my dreams and hopes. Primarily being able to move back to my country (Switzerland). I miss the mountains, the pine trees and the valleys..... I love my country more than I have ever loved anything or anyone else and being away from it literally hurts. Something my prior girlfriends, family, friends or otherwise never really understood.
The existence, and current state of advancement, of science. If I'd been born a couple of thousand years ago, when humans knew basically nothing, we attributed everything from earthquakes to sunsets to rain to various gods. When things didn't go right, when there was a drought for instance, we tried to find ways to appease gods. We had terrible things like human sacrifices just because it hadn't rained for a while. That kind of thing would make me utterly devoid of hope. It sometimes amazes me that we as a species survived that period without killing ourselves off entirely. I am so glad we don't have to do that kind of thing (as much) anymore. I am aware, of course, that these fictitious gods still make us to horrible things to each other because we don't understand as much as we need to about science - we still, in some places in the world, kill gay people, for example - but things are better than they were, and they keep getting better all the time. Science gives me hope. And Canada, that wide, beautiful, peaceful country that is my ancestral home, always inspires me and gives me hope.
Mortality. (and the interwebs - so atrocity can be exposed, and we don't have to wait for these fcukers to die)
