Posing the Question of "Why We Are Here?"

Everyone in Riverview always has one fear and one fear only: Are they going to get obliterated walking down the street? After all, Life is a cra*shoot from day to day. If you're a Sim in Nikkei_Simmer's Riverview, you never know when you're going to get annihilated. If they are sentient they are probably wondering if life has any meaning...or is their little existence transient, brutal, fleeting and meaningless?

After all, their survival depends on the whims of a certain capricious Watcher who knows all, sees all and is quick to punish. They do not know from one day to the next, whether they will be set on fire, attacked by bees, drown, starve, or one of the other multitudes of ways to die. If anything they should live their lives to the fullest because they won't know if they will survive to see the sun go down.

Here we see a female sim. She looks rather panicked. Perhaps she has seen something horrifying, perhaps it is a dog that has been starved or a child being taken away from a neglectful parent, or perhaps it is a bully beating up on a defenseless child.

Oh...it's none of those...

It's just your friendly neighbouhood space object falling through the skies to impact the ground at many thousands of kilometers per hour. My it certainly made a big explosion.

Yes, my dear young sims. Why indeed. And the existential question can be answered only in one way:

Because he can.
