i don't think your thoughts are cumbersome at all, i think that your passion for understanding yourself and the world has led you to refine your thought prcesses very well, and you are very insightful. i admit i do suffer from a great pessimism over what i underserstand about how the world works. the beautiful things seems threatened by the ugly things. fresh air, blue skies water, the seasons, our trees and flora, the animals, all seem to be under threat by our actions. i see us as the boil of the earth. humanity is so clumsy, ignorant and as it seems, "in charge" of the planet which works beautifully on its own. but here i turn the corner in my train of thought. because whatever i say, however much i believe it is us who have thrown the planet off kilter, we are a part of it. like you say, the fact that we exist is proof that we are meant to be a part of this system. well, time will tell if we survive our own actions.
