Sentient gorillas

This life isnt easy. Gazelles don’t have it easy. Eventually 80% will get eaten by lions or hyenas. Honest to Buddha, I just watched a documentary on it. We are sentient gorillas. Look at a gorilla and try not to say fuck he looks remarkably like me. If you try to kill him he won’t like it. Probably put up a fight. They’re really strong so in this scenario he probably kills you. But after you’re dead do you think he thinks about tomorrow? Or death? Or why his gorilla girlfriend fucked another gorilla? This is hard to understand, but the Buddha teaches us it only hurts because you want it. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t care. Everything is transient. In this life you will lose everything and then will lose your life. Wanting more will bring you to your knees. I promise you. It all goes away. The sun will go away after it eats the earth. It’s sad to think about because you’re attached to your life. No matter how it ends? It will end. Friends will lie. Your children will disappoint you. Your lovers will leave. That is how it is. If you live 2 years or 200 years, in the span of forever, what’s the difference? That’s not a call to nihilism. What’s the point? You have five minutes on this spoiling, rotted globe. Why hurt other sentient gorillas if you can help it? Why hurt yourself? Dumb question. Everyone is killing themselves. What you eat, what you breathe, who you fuck. You’re not getting out of here alive. This sounds shitty. But my point is, and this was a long-winded way to say it, be nice.
