Is a man a coward if he realizes that bravery is just a myth the old tell the young so they line up for the meatgrinder? - Pierce Brown

I kept looking for hope in the world. Expecting the world to supply deliverance if I p[lucked the right chords. Demanding that it supply validation to my labor if I just gave enough effort. But that is not the nature of the world. Its nature is to consume. In time, it will consume us all, and the spheres will spin until they too are consumed when our sun dies.
Maybe that is the point of it. Knowing that ine day darkness will cover all, at least your eyes were open to moments of light.

Nothing beautiful survives the mob.

Lies are rust on iron. A blemish on power.
