It's all about getting to the next level of evolution.
He was quoting someone else in www.astroinquiry.com, but he said that human beings have the drive to keep interacting and procreating till they become homogeneous.
My thought is, what is the role of love in this? How substantial is this entity we call 'love'?
Love is the most superficial and overrated entity we know. In the same website I read him quoting someone else saying love and truth are interchangeable. Now that feels like an abomination, an insult, a blasphemy.
When you love someone you think is better off than you, it is the feature that he/she has, be it beauty, intelligence, knowledge, sociability, fame, money that you are actually 'loving'.
When you love someone you think is worse off than you, it is yourself that you are 'loving', your high mindedness, compassion, goodness, kindness, caring nature, sensibility, and so on.
We don't do anything unless we profit from it. Being compassionate rewards us by a feeling of euphoria, self-esteem, sense of victim hood, sense of greatness, and probably many other feelings we even don't know exist.
In 'love' the feeling of euphoria is the reward. It's so evolutionary.
The truth is that love does not exist. Love and truth are opposites. Truth is truth. Love is a lie.
A lie we willingly wish to believe in for the tremendous high we get from it.
One of the many lies we willingly and blindly believe in the Piscean Age.

Perfect World Cooking
In a perfect world (which is very much achievable, mind you), each person will live peacefully in his/her own space. He/she will have all the necessities of life and will be totally satisfied.
In that vein of thought, I'm sure I can share some of the tips on how to cook simple, easy and effectively.
Your daily nutritional needs can be taken care of by the following regimen:
1) Horlicks with Milk (or similar health drink)
2) Rice and fish
3) Chicken nuggets/cucumber/tomato/brown bread sandwich
4) Peanuts for snacking
5) Packaged juices (Tropicana, Ceres, etc.)
Cooking instructions:
1) Horlicks with Milk (or similar health drink)
About 3 tablespoons each of horlicks and milk powder for each day added to warm water. I do this for 10-15 days at one go.
- the entire quantity of water is microwaved at the rate of 1 minute at 750W per cup of water
- horlicks and milk powder are poured directly from their packs
- mixture stirred till most lumps are gone
- use a funnel to pour the liquid into a 2 litre or bigger container
- place the warm liquid containing container into the fridge
You can now have ice cream like delicious health drink every day.
(Warning - use only microwaved pure water or germs could spoil the health drink)
2) Rice and fish
Take about a handful and a half of rice in a bowl. Wash it in water 3-4 times. Add 4 cups of water.
- microwave for 15 mins at 450W
- let stand for 20 mins
- pour out excess starch liquid
- add a bit of tamarind paste, salt and then mix
- add a piece of canned fish
You're good to go.
3) Chicken nuggets/cucumber/tomato/brown bread sandwich
- four slices of brown bread, four slices each of cucumber and tomato
- lay out half the cucumber and tomato on the first bread slice
- place the next bread slice on top
- lay out the rest of the cucumber and tomato on top of that
- put two tablespoons of yoghurt and cover with the third bread slice
- lay out 7-8 chicken nuggets (number depends on size) on the third slice, then cover with last bread slice
- microwave for 4 mins at 750W
- let stand for 15-20 mins
This is the simplest, easiest way (that I have so far discovered) to be self reliant as well as time efficient. Hope it helps.

What am I to do...
Every day I catch a glimpse
Of the one that I'd been waiting for
The one who shall end my pain
Wait, is she the one?
How would I know?
Her voice, her walk, her talk
Nothing told me the answer clearly
But my heart is sure
I want to talk to her
And see for myself
But the time never came, and
Neither did my courage
I never talked to those
That never talked to me
How could I make an exception
For this one and only beauty?
Yes, I think I can
Because of the signs
That none before her showed
The signs of the one for me
She kept saying that she was
From that far and distant land
That bore my ten-year lost love
As if she had come to take her place
In my flashes of telepathy
During days of restless youth
There appeared without warning
Without reason or explanation...
The picture of a maiden
Dainty and dignified, thoughtful and lovely
But above all, lovely
That fit her only too well
What am I to do
When that picture materializes
In the form a creature
That says the magic word
The one I've been waiting for, yes
The one I truly want, yes
Yet I do not know
What am I to do...
Of the one that I'd been waiting for
The one who shall end my pain
Wait, is she the one?
How would I know?
Her voice, her walk, her talk
Nothing told me the answer clearly

Her Pause
When she moves
And pauses just a moment
It's clear as daylight
Something troubles her
In a moment's hesitation
She and the world are one
For there is reason tremendous
And cause abundant for her stillness
But what reason, what cause
Thy soul yearns to discern
Knowledge withheld from it
Known to none but one
Backs up her steps, nods her head
Ah, she must have found the solution
Surely, wisdom feminine won
And it never pauses wthout cause
Lo, she makes her appearance again
Expression quite the opposite
Happiness for the sake of happiness
Her smile is all that's left
And pauses just a moment
It's clear as daylight
Something troubles her
In a moment's hesitation
She and the world are one
For there is reason tremendous
And cause abundant for her stillness
But what reason, what cause
Thy soul yearns to discern
Knowledge withheld from it
Known to none but one
Backs up her steps, nods her head
Ah, she must have found the solution
Surely, wisdom feminine won
And it never pauses wthout cause
Lo, she makes her appearance again
Expression quite the opposite
Happiness for the sake of happiness
Her smile is all that's left
Such is life
A creeping realization that things are much worse than I thought. A growing realization of how great I truly am.
A hopelessness that eats away at my very soul. An abundance of preposterous dreams that could come true given time.
A hatred of the shackles of routine and home. A sense of freedom I was unsure I would ever have.
A history of heart breaking enough to have killed me long ago. A leap of joy when a potential soulmate passes by.

If she doesn't love me, it's fine
If she doesn't love me, it's fine
Just let me love her
Forget her face
Only remember who she was
If you can do that, my
You still won
For you are with her
And woe to the one next to her
For he knows not
The person she really is
But you are with her
Forever
I remember
The square and long flowing whites
That hung loosely around her, stitches showing
Her thin frame gliding fragile
Her willing to be kind
So kind, that she taught me kindness
So quiet,
That she taught me the beauty of quiet
Inappropriate to some,
Beautiful to me, her crumpled sweater
On top of her flowing whites
Almost made me laugh, and love her even more
Yes, that too
She taught me to be inappropriate
If she doesn't love me, that's fine
Just let me love her
Just let me love her
Forget her face
Only remember who she was
If you can do that, my
You still won
For you are with her
And woe to the one next to her
For he knows not
The person she really is
But you are with her

Almost made me laugh, and love her even more
Yes, that too
She taught me to be inappropriate
If she doesn't love me, that's fine
Just let me love her

They chose him for his color
How superficial can people get?
Once a friend had said to me, "If a million people say a stupid thing, it is still a stupid thing." That seems to be the case everywhere now-a-days. Yes, sure, a half-black became president. And yes, he may have what it takes. But is that why they elected Barack Hussein Obama to become president? I wish it was, but I have a nagging suspicion to the contrary.
I don't see this as great in any sense of the word. The world watches as history is made? What history? Aren't you ashamed to say that you have elected a person because of his color?
Martin Luther King will be proud of this moment? I don't think so. What I see is people being as superficial as they once were. Our choices are made based on what looks good in the eyes of others. When shall the day come when human beings are free do do what they feel is right and true? The true definition of freedom.
A whole nation has done what's popular. Few have the courage to think for themselves anymore. I do not think this is how the forefathers they are so proud of lived. I do not think this is what they had wished for.
