I've got a lot of old receipts and file shreddings to burn, might have a new year's bonfire again. 8)

Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

What is the purpose of bonfire night? I know you don't need a purpose to burn things (that's just plain fun) but why a specific night? Is that a UK thing?

it's to celebrate torturing and executing the catholics who tried to blow up our dead king 400+ years ago

we hate catholics so we burn things and set off fireworks
