    My view is that humans born with an overdeveloped skill of understanding which does not fit into nature's design. The humans are craving for justification on matter such as life and death cannot be satisfied, hence humanity has a need that nature cannot satisfy. I think humans spend all their time trying not to be human. I'm ultra pessimistic.
