Here is written my thoughts and experiences in this land called Gaia.
An epiphony.

Today, I had a sudden thought, a lightbulb coming on, some gears finally clicking in my head. Now I know this might sound very depressing but I think it might be true.

I think.....that as time goes on...nothing ever really gets better. I know I know. It sounds like a one-sided and very depressing thought, but I think it might be true. The ease, happiness, and everything good in life seems to continuously and somewhat steadily while stress, anxiety, complication and such things to induce horrible moods appear to be increasing.

But I don't think we realize this because we adapt to how bad it is at the moment and thusly accept it as the normal. Then, when something so slightly good happens, something that would be just a normal occourance from before, we think "Oh. It must be a good day today. ^_^" But it was really just something that we had adapted down from.

Its like staying in the desert for years and moving to somewhere normal. You would have adapted to the harsh, dry environment and so your new climate would feel excessively moist and colder than you were used to. I feel that this is the same basic principle as what I am trying to say. Mankind is slowly adapting itself into misery.

......okay. Maybe misery is a bit extreme. But things used to be much better.

    I think that misery is a cyclic change. It rises, but then falls down again. For example, during the Black Plague, things were much worse than they are now. However, afterwards, life improved. There are always going to be stressful periods, but there will still be times that are more peaceful.
