Late Night Philosophy. Or something.
I was sitting outside on my back patio for a while smoking and looking at the night sky.

For a while I thought, "I wish I could go back two or three hundred years just so I could sit out somewhere in a field and look at the night sky. I can't even imagine how many stars there must have been back then."

And then I think, "Yet, I can't imagine what it must have been like to live back then."

To which the thought comes to my head: "The further we go with technology the further away we get from heaven."

Which leads me to thinking, "The only stars out tonight are those that are bright enough to make it past our own lights."

This leads me to think, "Is this what our society, or even life in general is? Those who can't shine bright enough just disappear into the darkness?"

I don't know. Heavy, I know.

Not really, just a couple thoughts that made it across my mind intact.
