The human condition is complex and often painful. We are caught between life and death, struggling to make sense of our existence in this world. The darkness that surrounds us can be overwhelming, and our attempts to understand it often lead to confusion and despair. We are born into a world of opacity, where the true nature of things is shrouded in mystery. As we grow older, we are taught to abandon our childhood imaginations and embrace the harsh realities of life. But even as we strive to make sense of the world around us, we find ourselves confronted with the stark reality of our own mortality. The struggle to understand ourselves and others is a constant source of frustration and confusion. Our perceptions of the world are shaped by our own experiences and biases, limiting our ability to truly connect with each other. And yet, we continue to strive for understanding and connection, despite the bitter rifts that divide us. In this dizzying world of hope and delusion, it can be easy to lose sight of what truly matters. We must resist the temptation to focus solely on our biochemistry and instead embrace the poetic sadness of death. This reminds us of life's fragility and beauty. For it is only by confronting darkness head-on that we can truly live.
