    Eh, if you can’t find reasons to stay alive, there’s always spite.

    The universe might be out to get me, but at least I’ll go down fighting.

    Or, as someone much more versed in words put it:

    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

      Spite is great until it isn’t. Then it shatters and won’t support weight again.

        Poland existed out of spite since over a thousand years. Sure, sometimes spite dwindled and they got conquered, but that was just a new reason for more spite!

    I’m not sure if Suffering O’Brien is necessarily the best choice for this meme, because it kinda implies that the moment things start looking up, a simulated lifetime of prison trauma is waiting around the next corner…

        Yeah that’s likely because DS9 is, at its core, an episodic series. If my life mostly reset every Monday, that would make things quite a bit more tolerable.

      Despite everything that has happened, O’Brien has worked through it with counseling and the support of his family and friends. Something to aspire to if you get your fair share of hardships too.

        Is the greatest advancement in Star Trek FTL travel? Teleporters? Replicators? No, it’s that their therapists are available, affordable, and effective.

      It is an eternal meme. A trope. The Bibble has Job. Star Trek has Miles. Job lost his family and children to gamblor and miles loses them to the pah wraiths and a time hole. The parallelograms are there, it’s in revelations people.

            I’ll try to get a better picture of it, though.

    I don’t think I can.

    All I see on the horizon is, at best, eco-fascism and at worst the slow crumbling of humanity before nuclear annihilation.

    Why continue to have eyes if all I can see is destruction? Why continue to have ears if all I can hear is hatred? Why continue to have a mouth if the only words I can speak is righteous anger and cries of despair?

    The glimmers of happiness get fewer and further between as life goes on. I just yearn for the long sleep; it feels like it’d be peaceful, unburdened, my metaphorical shoulders fucking hurt and I’m tired.
