Well... After a few too many crises, being homeless, having my fiance leave me, and just pretty typical skramz junk that I'm sure a lot of you might relate with, I thought about not only humanity, but all of life as we know it, from every festering maggot to every single celled disease bacterium to every predator and prey, to every businessman and unemployed jerk off... Maybe I watched too much anime or something, but I thought about how suicide is never the answer. It never is. How could you leave behind a world of suffering by jabbing a giant knife into it, spreading the suffering more thickly onto everyone else? You could never do that. All you could do is suck it up and try to be happy, to make the world a better place and all that, because there's too many people you love to bring upon more misery. But what if, I thought, what if we could just set off 2,500 WMDs, doomsday devices, and nuclear warheads all at once, all spaced out all over the globe. Everything would die all at once. All the suffering of existence would cease, and no one would be around to remember it or be pained by. Oblivion would engulf everything. Did you ever think about where you could possibly get your hands on weapons grade uranium? I know I have. But then, sometimes life can be so beautiful. Sometimes, when you find a new band that had been right under your eyes for years, but you hear it for the first time and you feel so... good. Fuck. It makes you want to scream out to everyone, "No, no... Hold on a just a second. Call it off. Don't hit the switch. Don't drop the nuke."
I don't know.
QFTT.
