There is no god to change either of you, and if there were a god..all indications are that the work of change is left up to the individual in any case. Pleading to the cosmos to change you or your life will leave you in precisely the same state of affairs that you were in in that moment of pleading.
You are voicing out what you've referred to as misguided suspicions, arising from fear. No one tells you that your argument is faulty out of spite. No one tells you that what you are referring to as love is an empty premise out of spite. No one tells you anything.because they;re under the power of evil magic,. All of this is false and unhealthy ideation. Most people can empathize to one extent or another what has lead you down this path.
Personally, I found myself largely freed of existential anxiety by sheer misfortune (or misadventure..I suppose you could call it). I've been in situations where it was made clear to me that my view of self and another..even in love, where nothing more or less than illusory. All of your what ifs...are old friends of mine...not fears of what may come or what might be if some other cherished thing were untrue, but an understanding of what has been and is regardless of what else may be true.
These things can feel miserable. That misery simply does not produce a god, and fleeing from the reality of those fears will not make them go away or reduce that misery. At some point you simply have to stand up and stare them down for what they are, as what you are. You aren't going to find comfort in a wife..in any of this. To be blunt, this sort of thinking will wreck whatever comfort could be found in companionship - and I've been there too.
It was only when I faced my own fears and sought the self knowledge required to effect those changes in my life, personally...that needed to be had, that I found the peace of mind you seek in the ramblings of some fucking loony cultist and their neverending dissatisfaction with the succession of long dead cheiftans.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
