The Places You Found Love

Everyone is biologically programmed to find babies cute. It's an evolutionary imperative, because the rational thing to do when you've got a screaming, shitting dependant taking up your food, is to kill it, and we need something to stop us doing that. It's also why people are generally attracted to big eyes and smooth skin - because they're characteristics of children.

And I'm not saying this to detract from the beauty of parenthood, or to make you sad, I'm saying it to point out that this fact doesn't make a baby's laugh any less wonderful. And I don't think the source of anything can make it less so.

This is why I can point out that any form of love isn't God or fate or destiny, it's that if two people have a strong emotional attachment, their children are more likely to survive.

Atomic bombs are beautiful.

So I will say that the me I am now, will and always has been feeling what I feel, but that sentence doesn't even make sense until we consider that time is just another spacial dimension. We couldn't understand it until we factor in theoretical macro physics and see that every point in time is eternal, and everything that has ever or will ever happened is happening, and our view is so utterly subjective that we can't experience it that way.

I'm not saying this to make you sad. I'm just saying this to say that if I were to thank anyone for this, for us, it wouldn't be God; it would be the scientists that let me know that no matter how or when this ends, right now, I will love you forever.
