Wonder why Cassandra is pulling her hair?

That gift of being able to see the future and the curse of not being believed tends to frustrate and lead to insanity......and some hair pulling.

Disgusting, but creative and clever. They need to channel their intelligence to some life improving endeavor.

Completely agree.......

But they would really need to think hard about something useful and that 's not easy.

You'd pull your hair too if your "wherever" was all tied up in knots like hers

It also tends to get you in serious trouble and blamed for everything thereafter regardless of being useful.

All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.

Channeling you inner Ayn Rand, are you?

No. The quote is from Mr. Poe.

If you had been paying attention you'd know this week is Mr. Poe's birthday, as I had earlier noted - see also the current avatar.

And yet, we are still left to wonder, through the millennia , have we been making all this stuff up, basically because we are scared-shitless that
none of it or of us has meant adamn, or is it possible that vision beyond all the trying and hoping, fighting, struggle, grunting, building, and artistic expression has been granted to some on some occasions? Are we of no more value and meaning than the dinosaurs and pondscum, or have glimpses beyond the thud of the moment of our deaths ( not even heard or noticed by us if there is nothing beyond it ) been granted and hinted-at by some with exceptional vision?
Are we just all making this stuff up?

Are you just cynical? Or are you possessed of crystal-clear vision, denied to so many? I wonder what J.C. or Mohammad , or Siddhartha would say about that.

Are we just all making this stuff up?

Possibly so. It could all be a punch line at the end of joke that's still being told....

I guess that just leaves hope, then, and possibly, faith, that we're not just children or lumps of meat.
