What kind of world has been created? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain.
A glittering world of steel and concrete, of monstrous machines and terrifying weapons—a nation of warriors and fanatics, marching forward in perfect unity, all thinking the same thoughts and shouting the same slogans, perpetually working, fighting, triumphing, persecuting—three hundred million people all with the same face.
Life, on earth, is hell. Evil runs it, evil prospers in it and the rest, who manage to live reasonably well, are brainwashed – these people know that if they stop and ‘think too much’ they too see and feel the emptiness – so they ‘pull themselves together’ and march on.

you’re a good writer. When I am feeling suicidal sometimes I make art and it makes me feel better: I create something that expresses how I feel. Making art feels like I’m in a battle to find myself and understand how I feel. And it represents something meaningful. You become a creator.
I am amazed at what I just read. I truly am. The last paragraph couldn’t come close to describing the world any better. Do you write often? I love how you expressed yourself with those words opposed to just stating what is upsetting you about your life personally, you made it more relate able to everyone as a whole.
