How Odd

[poliphilo]

I stepped into the front room last night- and there in the semi-dark- with the world outside all orange from the street lights- I thought, "How odd to be in this body,  on this patch of earth, surrounded by all this stuff I think of as mine!"

I don't know. The west has been in the grip of an apocalyptic religion for the past 2000 years- and it's marked even our secular thinking- but I'm not sure about other cultures. Are the Chinese fixated on the end of the world? I don't think they are.
