If life is so meaningless, then why are we always bringing it up?

Did you know, in the entire universe, we are the only intelligent life forms thought to have a Miss Universe contest?

One thing in life is for certain, the more profoundly baffled you have been in your life, the more open your mind becomes to new ideas.

Fretting grief the enemy of life.
