"Our thoughts form the Universe - they *always* matter" -
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.Originally posted by babylonlurker View Post"There are no good wars. War is always the worst possible way to resolve differences. It degenerates and corrupts both sides to ever more sordid levels of existence, in their need to gain an advantage over the enemy. Those actively involved in combat are almost always damaged goods for the rest of their lives. If their bodies don't bear scars, their minds do, ofttimes both. Many have said it before, but it can't be said to enough, war is hell. "Comment

"There are things in the Universe billions of years older than either of our races. They are vast, timeless, and if they are aware of us at all, it is as little more than ants and we have as much chance of communicating with them as an ant has with us. We know. We've tried and we've learned that we can either stay out from underfoot or be stepped on."Originally posted by phazedout View Post"It means living each moment as if it were your last one.

And according to one of our units on the border of Centauri space, they've continued massing their fleet. We don't know why. Maybe they expect a counterattack.

"Garibaldi said that there were two seperate Centauri fleets engaged in the war: one defensive, one offensive, that no one in the Centauri military knew anything about the attacks, only that they were defending themselves against us. Now we know why."Originally posted by phazedout View Post"It means living each moment as if it were your last one. It means doing each right thing because it is the right thing.
