I was tallking from a gobal perspective (animals included). Nature's rule is clearly heartless : a constant struggle full of anguish and pain not to be eaten (often alive) nor starve to death (eaten from the inside by your own body - alive again), with many diseases but no cure at all (a flue is a death sentence - and predators are to hungry to wait...). Technology brought use safety and comfort (for a time), yet our life is anything but easy. Then imagine what all these poor creatures are going through every single day...

And that to say that "miserable and hopeless struggle for survival" isn't as much pessimistic as it is accurate. Fortunatelly, this only applies to us humans in a very diluted fashion ^ ^

Are metaphysics trully a realistic discipline ? I always thought it was just philosophical daydreaming for bored intellectuals, allowing one to make a living without actually doing any work ^ ^

Do you have examples or links to serious/usefull contributions provided by metaphysics ? If that's true the reading would probably be quite interesting.

I admit I'm a materialist at heart : if something cannot be personally experienced, nor perceived through science, then it might as well not exist at all.
