Love

My today’s fortune cookie says:


Tell me why the stars do shine,
Tell me why the ivy twines,
Tell me why the sky's so blue,
And I will tell you just why I love you.



Nuclear fusion makes stars to shine,
Phototropism makes ivy twine,
Rayleigh scattering makes sky so blue,
Sexual hormones are why I love you.


Some time ago I wished the second part of it didn’t exist, I thought human beings were metaphysical entities, but I was wrong. As far as I can tell we love the sun, because it gives as energy and we are selected to collect it. We like company, because it is strategically better in the case of an aggression and last, but not least important, we love people of opposite sex because our hormones program us to transmit the species and the sexually transmitted disease we call life.

So please leave all your romantic attitudes and thoughts about a greater nature of human beings. They are just wrong. We are here to be born, reproduce and die. All other activities are only utilities to accomplish these aims.
