THE BEST THING EVER IS COMING!

     Over the years, it has come to my attention that the best thing ever is coming.

     I remain skeptical, since the best thing ever was coming since the dawn of time.

     Remember that time when technology was going to save us all from struggle, misery and death? Remember all those promises of flying cars, 1000 story skyscrapers, and unlimited lifespan? That was the 50s.

     Remember the promises of a new age of peace, of a total end of all war and conflict, when all people will live together as brothers (and sisters), loving and hugging (and shagging) each other? That was the 60s.

     Remember all those promises of Earth becoming Heaven and eternal bliss via afterlife? Remember when the end of days was coming? That was the first century AD, aka the story of Son of God.

     But forget all that; THE NEW BEST THING EVER IS COMING, AND EVERYTHING WILL BE AMAZING FOREVER AND EVER AND NOTHING BAD WILL EVER HAPPEN AGAIN!

     Surely that will happen!... Any year now......

   

     Wait... what was my point?...


     Ah, yes! Humanity is prone to becoming overly exited and getting drunk on its own anticipation and hype.

     I personally do not believe in Utopias. There is no pleasure without pain, no happiness without shitty times. There is no eternal bliss. Good times will end, or not come at all. We will still have to work to gain and maintain our happiness, and no one and no thing will maintain it for us.

     More Satyrday is coming, hopefully tomorrow.
