For me, this place I am stuck currently, is purgatory incarnate; neither good nor bad, but a gateway to great rewards or even greater punishments. And it has come to my attention that we can get nothing in this world worth keeping, not so much as a principle or a conviction, except out of purifying flame, or through strengthening peril. We err; we fall; we are humbled - then we walk more carefully. We greedily eat and drink poison out of the gilded cup of vice, or from the beggar's wallet of avarice; we are sickened, degraded; everything good in us rebels against us; our souls rise bitterly indignant against our bodies; there is a period of civil war; if the soul has strength, it conquers and rules thereafter. If not ...
Do you think there’s somewhere else, some other place to go after this one?I wouldn’t know ... back to whatever void there is, I suppose.
I've thought about it ... it'll be lonely after death.
We won't be, though. We'll be dead, so we'll just be darkness,
not much else, just memories, nostalgia and darkness.
I don't want to be any of that either.
When we die, we'll still be nothing, the world will still be nothing,
everything'll just be nothing!
You're real though, at least that's something.
