Quote by Kurt Vonnegut
Sometimes I think it is a great mistake to have matter that can think and feel. It complains so. By the same token, though, I suppose that boulders and mountains and moons could be accused of being a little too phlegmatic.
Summary
This quote suggests that having sentient beings, capable of thinking and feeling, is a flawed concept. The speaker expresses a belief that such beings, like humans, tend to complain too much. However, the quote also acknowledges that inanimate objects like boulders, mountains, and moons could be seen as lacking emotion or being unresponsive. This juxtaposition highlights the complexity and imperfections associated with beings capable of both positivity and negativity, while contrasting them with inert objects that appear unaffected by such traits.
