the problem with evil is in order to understand what it is you have to be able to imagine it which is very frightening but the only way you can avoid evil or to gently help people not do the thing that harms them and by implication others around them who really do love the person and do not want to see them devoured by the void but if you are in the void or really you are the void or it is you, you think it doesn’t matter because nihilism is the forgetting of causation, in fact if there was a definition of the void it would be the horrible idea that nothing is connected

and if you do understand that what some people want is not only not what they say it is but also actually extremely awful and will be regretted once they find a way out of the void what can you say

you are the evil one for pointing it out because the once who have the most mud to throw at others have it deep within their bowels which is why they want to get rid of it and say look over there not here

but ok there’s being brave but what is the alternative, really, ultimately, it is going along with this forever and never saying anything as the machine mincemeats everyone and everything you care about

that is worse

the darkness is a lens

you talk about sunglasses and I go on about the sun

and how there is more than enough

and if you know how to be outside

you don’t need them

and we go outside
