We find out what makes the sun work and we build a bomb out of it - typical of the human race. Some people hate others if they worship in a different way, if they have a different skin colour, even if they come from another part of their own country. When I look around at the cruelty that still goes on, the slavery that still exists, the genocide that is committed every five or ten years somewhere in the world, I sometimes wonder if this isn't hell we're living in now, and heaven is somewhere else entirely.
Maybe I'm just having a bad day...
