You gotta get together, tell yourself stories that violate every law of the universe just to get through the god damn day. Now what's that say about your reality, Marty?

"Man is the cruelest animal." --Friedrich Nietzsche

"Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; humans have no advantage over animals. All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. Who knows if the human spirit rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?" --Ecclesiastes 3:19-21

"If someone needs a book to read along with season 1 of ‘True Detective,’ I would recommend the King James Old Testament.”

Ecclesiastes 4:2-3 "I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive. But better than both is the one who has never been born, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun."

"It's all one ghetto man, giant gutter in outer space." --Rustin Cohle

"Ecclesiastes is the only charming book that has ever been written by a Jew." --Ernest Renan

"For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. -- Ecclesiastes 9:5-6

I think human consciousness, is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware, nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself, we are creatures that should not exist by natural law. We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self; an accretion of sensory, experience and feeling, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everybody is nobody. Maybe the honorable thing for our species to do is deny our programming, stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction, one last midnight - brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal.
