Yes, I'm sorry I wrote that but I hit a bad patch. I visit a website called Hypography Science Forums, where somebody called Symbology wrote about how forest fires lead to new growth and that maybe the end of the world wouldn't be so bad because only the strong would survive, leading to a new birth for what remained. He made me realize that I was just looking at the end of something, rather than the more positive start of something new (Always look on the bright side of life! Monty Python's Life of Bri
an).
In other words, more than just optimism versus pessimism (half full, half empty glass view), this is about the illusion of permanent death (addiction) versus lack of fear and seeing that eventually all will be well (Creationism overcoming entropy through rebirth - new life replacing old death).
Thank you for the charitable and realistic view, versus the one that would have jumped all over me for faltering.
