The natural world has evolved just as many ways to be miserable and sick and in mind shattering agony as ways to be alive. Perhaps many more. Don't forget that when you ask for your humility. You should also ask for a sense of cosmic horror for this hellish prison we find ourselves trying to claw out of.

If a God created the natural order, with its unending beauty and horror, then surely, on the balance of things, they were either more than a little sadistic and evil ... or they were purely insane.
