How do we survive?
We are each optimizing, in some way, our survival. The shape that this can take is infinite and highly dependant on initial conditions.
In each our own way we judge, jump, agonize, guess, and strive over our decisions. This is the house of good. Our choices, and the moments before the choices are made. Be humble and ernest when you find yourself at any crossroads, for the future of us all may be at stake.
The chaotic nature of reality, means that the relationship of cause and effect is not, and will not ever be entirely clear to us. And due to that, any choice you make could possibly affect all of us. We are intrinsically connected, you and me and everyone else.
We ride the spaceship earth. We are all in the same boat.
