Philosophy offers the rather cold consolation that perhaps we and our planet do not actually exist; religion presents the contradictory and scarcely more comforting thought that we exist but that we cannot hope to get anywhere until we cease to exist.

Love, which was once believed to contain the Answer, we now know to be nothing more than an inherited behavior pattern.
