Mornings are all the same, every day, for everyone. – True or False?

Mourning is the same, every day, for everyone who mourns. – True or False?

Puns aside, we are mostly water and more closely connected to one another other and apes/chimps than any other species, yet we cooperate far better with other species. We raise domestic animals for pleasure and food. Fish too. People will chat up their pets or plants but do not say hello to their neighbours.

We learn so much, and the pace of the explosion of knowledge cannot be tackled by anything even close to what AI (artificial intelligence) can do. Soon AI will revolutionize our life like nothing else ever has. Computers and iPhones were just for warming up; rocket ships and Hubble telescopes have nothing on AI.  I’m waiting for AI to tell us how we can hit a golf ball straight consistently, but it will figure everything else out.

This leaves us to our own devices – to, ourselves, one at a time, to figure out our life – determine our destiny and value, or have others define it for us.
 
 
Reader feedback: 
 
GETTING CLEAR ABOUT WHERE WE START
You made a great distinction between roads and journeys. I’m on a journey at the moment—you might be familiar with it. There’s no map and no itinerary and it’s delightful, with surprises around every corner!, HM, Calgary, AB
 
DIAGNOSIS
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurological condition, but people with ADHD are often dismissed and not taken seriously. They are the overlooked. You have my attention, RH, Calgary, AB
