I have had an unexpected change of heart, and more precisely, an unexpected moment of clarity.

For a while, I have viewed our species' impending demise as both an outcome of our collective cruelty and inability live in peace and cooperation, and as a kind of accidental vengeance we bring upon ourselves.

But it has occurred to me that this will be a kind of mercy killing by the universe.

After we have gone, we will no longer suffer from the misery brought on by our own collective cruelty.

Oblivion will grant us our final collective release from our species' inability to rise above our worst instincts, and our collective tendency to subject each other to endless generations of violence and suffering.

All of this finally end.

And in oblivion, we shall find peace.
