So what is the appropriate negative emotional response here?
-
Or is there one?
-
I suppose the natural second suggestion is anger.
-
You might say, look, maybe fear isn't right,
-
isn't appropriate, but anger. I'm angry.
-
I want to shake my fist at the universe
-
and curse the universe for giving me only 50 years
-
or 70 years or 80 years even 100 years,
-
when the world is such a rich,
-
incredibly fantastic place that it would take thousands of years
-
or longer to exhaust what it has to offer.
-
So, isn't anger an appropriate response?
