While that's all true.
It's still nice to be nice. :)

Humans will always be miserable and for the most part, we are just as miserable as we were few years or few decades ago, if not better off. We can(and frankly, should) enjoy nice things from time to time.
Anyone else read this and feels the sincerity of an automated announcement at an airport/train station that claims "We apologize for the inconvenience."? Who's actually sorry/apologizing? Everyone working for the airport/railway? A text to speech system? Nothing?
"The universe profusely thanks you"... the universe is just atoms bouncing around, it's not doing shit.
"Your presence makes this univese immeasurably more joyful, more cheerful, more fun. The sound of your laughter shines like a ray of sunlight passing through a mountain meadow, enlightening all that it touches."
Ah, I can feel it too, as Netanyahu laughs while having some excellent dinner, after the great year he's had making the universe a more joyful place.
