If you haven’t already, please, go home tonight and read Ray Bradbury’s “There Will Come Soft Rains.” There will never be a better day on which to do it. It’s not long, and I won’t spoil why but it’s one of the most haunting stories ever written.

@shesarealperson I keep trying to explain why whenever someone asks about the point in living, I feel it is always "so that we may wonder". I found this essay after reading your post, maybe a good source for further reading for others as well (https://t.co/YPu2B6xRGP)
