The only way to leave this world is to die.I know you were being rhetorical. Fuck it though. I don't care. I tell people to kill themselves all the time so I can't complain. It just goes to show how little value human life actually has. People don't give a shit about another person's life. I'm sorry for expecting empathy from another human being. That was my mistake.

We reinforce the illusion for each other. That's what a society really is, a little band of humanity huddled together against the specter of a pitch black sea. Everyone is treading water to keep their heads above the surface even though they have no reason to believe that the life they're preserving is better than the alternative they're avoiding. It's just that one is known and one is not. Fear of the unknown is what keeps everyone busily treading water. All fear is fear of the unknown. If someone in such a group of water-treaders betrays the group, lie by speaking the truth of their situation, that person is called a heretic, and society reserves its most awful punishments for heretics. If someone decides to stop struggling and just sink or float away, every possible effort is made to stop him, not for the benefit of the individual, but for the benefit of the group. To deny at all costs the truth of the situation."

It's not a matter of appreciation. It's a matter of we would be swimming in an endless Jimmy Hendrix song if there was no dark or bad.
Could you appreciate light if you've never seen the dark?
Could you appreciate the good if you've never experienced the bad?
