I have been a well educated unsuccessful failure my whole life. I've known and met many famous and knew successful wealthy people in my life. I'm still not well off but all those people are either dead or in jail for doing something to get more. So looks like I'm not that unlucky. As long as you can walk with the sun on your face your very lucky even if your a bum. And if or when you die all of that money you worked so hard to make gets blown in seconds by the idiots you left behind. And every single item or thing that you cherished gets trashed or sold for pennies on the dollar. But they're clock is ticking too. Humans are miserable selfish, arrogant dirty bald monkeys and there is no god and there is no tomorrow.

I have never responded to any comment or the internet before. As someone who has Grumpy Cat as my Avatar, I can appreciate what you're saying. I have enough money. and I hope to spend most of it. Basically, what your accurately describing is the human condition. With that being said, it's all we have and perhaps if everyone kept that in perspective the condition would not be so bad and a little happiness will creep in. Personally, I believe this caporal existence is the hell we hear about in religion and its best to make the best we can of it. Perhaps (I have no idea, and nobody does). if we are good, we become. non caporal higher evolved beings that are more than bald monkeys. Do the best you can and be happier. I hope Kes is doing better.

I have personally experienced a hard fall from grace, much of it publicly, in front of friends and family. I wish I could tell her how beautiful she is and remind her of all of the good things about her, even though I have never met her. Its easy to forget how to, or just stop loving yourself, but really, really hard to learn to love and respect yourself again. The bad things we have done in life do not have to define who we are, or what we do in the future. I really hope the light of the universe finds a way into her life and helps her find her dignity, identity, and happiness again. Such a beautiful woman.

I'm watching Star Trek Voyager and was wondering what became of Kes. She is beautiful and sad to read about her problems. I hope things are better in her life now.
