So you believe there is no meaning to life, everything is random and there is no purpose.

You marvel at the miracle of life?
You give thanks for each passing breath.

Beings how I scheduled this post ahead of time, I have no idea how the election turned out. Therefore, I shall make a prediction.
I predict,
One more thing that’s fairly safe to predict: No matter who won, the other side is plenty unhappy about it.
It’s times like these when we need to step back, seek wisdom from our philosophers, and eat cookies.
