Maybe it means if no one ever makes plans then life will never be able to happen for anyone else? A sort of "Omelas."

Anyway, I think the question of whether or not there is a god is independent of whether or not any religion has correctly guessed what that god might be like. I'm ~99% sure there isn't a god but I'm 100% sure no religion has accurately described it, if there is one, because they all rely entirely on projection and wishful thinking instead of actual divine inspiration (since that wasn't available).

Living in gardening zone 4 in Wisconsin, yeah, I totally get enjoying the unseasonably warm days that pop up between November and April while simultaneously realizing it's due to climate change that I, as the little guy, can't really do much about. I feel good about throwing my food scraps on the compost pile and recycling what I can, but I know it's a mere blip compared to the responsibility big business *should* be taking on but don't/won't. Double-edged sword, man. Double. Edged. Sword.

I get nosebleeds, too, but they aren't pollen/allergy related. FINALLY invested in a cool-mist humidifier this week after decades of dealing with dry winter air and, OMG, what a difference!
