"The most devastating thing about suffering is that it is relative. There is always someone who hurts more, someone who hurts less."
I have no patience for public performances of grief in this country. We didn't give a flying fuck about the million+ Americans who died during the pandemic. I've got nothing to give.

"But for me, the definition that best captures pessimism is given by the joke 'I see the glass half full, but of poison.'"
I realize people come to philosophical pessimism in two ways: philanthropy (in the literal sense) or misanthropy. My tension is that everyday is existentially painful and I live in despair yet at the same time, despite knowing that nothing ever truly gets better, I feel compelled to act.
