    Humanity sure has a lack of humanity. Its… Really not fair. I’ve been against this type if evil all my life… And my reward is that get to die with them… It really isn’t fair… Like comicly unfair. For me nor for them. So why try anymore?

      We continue to try because it is our duty to humanity. We struggle because it is right to struggle for goodness. And together we hope that by our struggles we can impact the world for the better and move towards an international community of those who struggle for goodness.

      The evil wish us to despair and stop.

        I… I see… Ill try, though, I will not be able to do much. Not because I don’t want to, but because my body has decided that a little is all I’m allowed to do.

          Well, there’s a whole book about it. Matter of fact, the dude wrote many books on the topic.

          Type “one must imagine Sisyphus happy” into your search engine of choice.

            Did some reading. I’ve suffered most of my life and I’ve watched my own boulder roll down the hill many times. It seems Sisyphus didn’t have any physical conditions that made it harder each time. No wonder he is happy. He is struggling, but not in pain that isn’t self inflicted. So he can take his happy ass and keep on a pushing like a mother who continues to raise thier kids despite those kids draining everything they held dear. Or the a farmer who enjoys the tough summer days.

            But, me, all my strength was taken from me via disease. All my stamina snapped away due to a body who aches to die but a soul that stays alive because my death would mean the sarrow for many.

            As much as I sacrificed, as much as I suffer, and as much cry out in pain only known to a select few, there is no reward, there is no peace, and there is no happiness.

            He can stay happy, he is a useful machine to those in power. Contact me when he figures out that the gods themselves are the evil ones.

                Sorry I didn’t read the entire book. Too busy trying to not being in pain and trying to survive in this helish world and trying to maximize my time with family, friends, and people who loving me instead of reading a book that who’s goal is to tell me: “life is suffering, be happy about it because without suffering there is no happiness.” Absurdism is symptom of gross inequality, not a valid way to live and a excuse to not fight for change. Entropy may be the natural state of the universe, and I will agree fighting it is a fruitless battle, but dancing with it and telling it to fuck off for abit while we fix some problems it caused isn’t.

                Instead of me wasting time on a damn book, why don’t you explain the nuance I missed?
