[The truth is] that everyone and everything will die; that all nations, ethnicities, religions and structures will fall away into rubble, into nothingness, and be forgotten; that even the planet itself will be reduced to atoms and melt away, like black milk, into the cold deeps of empty space. And in the face of this truth, nothing matters ultimately but each specific, fleeting instance of individual being, the shape we give to each momentary coalescence of atomic particles into a particular human situation.That's all we have. That's all there is. That's what we kill when we murder someone. That's what we strangle when we keep them down with our boot on their throat.
I’m not saying that is also my truth, but it is certainly a legitimate way to look at things. This is a somewhat lengthy but clear post in response to a comment about what our country is doing or not doing and whether there is some evil villain driving the car. I recommend a reading of the whole thing.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
