It’s a shame that we must simplify our way of life… to not dwell on the world’s mysteries and secrets, but to just continually live our lives in a mask of certainty and absolutes, when the world around us asks us to theorize and ponder. To live life in an uncertain way, is to drive yourself insane, to miss the ways of our culture and society as it has become.

But is it really worth it? We all make ourselves happy with the theories we are able to come up with at some point in our lives, but only to leave them in our wake and move on. we think, “Let the men who get paid to ponder” to solve the questions of the world and life. In thinking so deeply, we become hostile to our own kind, realizing the sheer ferocity and pain that we can and do inflict. Realizing that life is all a sham, that our way of life is just a made up belief to keep ourselves from falling into a depression.

There is an upside. In keeping your mind appeased with subtle answers and theories, without going too far into the unknown, we relieve ourselves of pain and anguish of sorts… we can live together, and not separated. Although we are a vicious set of creatures, we are still united to the end.

Oh well. You’re all doomed anyway.
