We try to replace nature, but fail miserably.
Instead, we merely force it to adapt. Our cities, our homes, even our bodies, are subsumed by nature. Were we to succeed in "overcoming" this primal force, we would cease to be.

Hope

What a blind, foolish, wonderful thing!

Friedrich Nietzsche once wrote the line "That which does not kill you makes you stronger."

I'm not dead.

How much more do I have to survive before I become strong?
