"I have it so good. So absurdly, improbably good. I didn't do anything to deserve it, but I have it. I'm healthy.
I've never gone hungry. And yes, to answer your question, I'm—I'm loved. I lived in a beautiful place, did meaningful work. The world we made out there, … It's a good world, a beautiful world. It's not perfect, but we've fixed so much.
We made a good place, struck a good balance.

"Then how," Dex said, "how does the idea of maybe being meaningless sit well with you?"
Mosscap considered. "Because I know that no matter what, I'm wonderful," it said.

"It doesn't bother you?" Dex said. "The thought that your life might mean nothing in the end?"
"That's true for all life I've observed. Why would it bother me?" Mosscap's eyes glowed brightly. "Do you not find consciousness alone to be the most exhilarating thing?”

You keep asking why your work is not enough, and I don't know how to answer that, because it is enough to exist in the world and marvel at it. You don't need to justify that, or earn it. You are allowed to just live. That is all most animals do.

*Find the strength to do both," Mosscap said, quoting the phrase painted on the wagon.
"Exactly," Dex said.
"But what's both?"
Dex recited: "Without constructs, you will unravel few mysteries. Without knowledge of the mysteries, your constructs will fail. These pursuits are what make us, but without comfort, you will lack the strength to sustain either. "

So, how fucking spoiled am I, then? How fucking broken? What is wrong with me that I can have everything I could ever want and have ever asked for and still wake up in the morning feeling like every day is a slog?"
