Aye, alas, it is as I feared, and the dreadful dread which I dreaded so has come upon me! Drat!!!


In the wise words of Marcus Cole:

"I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe."
 

Yes, it is somehow strangely more comforting to see the world/universe/multiverse/what-have-you as cold, unfeeling, and perfectly capable and willing to crap upon the just and the unjust in equal measures. But can this view be reconciled with the judaeo-christian ethos, and, if not, then doesn't the ultimate fate of such a universe (q.v., eventual death and utter non-existence) bode far worse for the inhabitants of such a universe than the struggles of someone who has the abiding hope of ultimate redemption?

something to ponder, for sure.

Is that the Babylon 5 Ranger, Marcus Cole?
 



I'm sure it is, Rhun is a Babylon5-ite of the first water.

Any shows I actually have on DVD, I usually know like the back of my hand. It comes from needing something to do to keep my mind busy when I'm on the treadmill. And since the treadmill is right in front of the TV...voila!
