Here’s the thing: even the people who matter the most, are still mortal and will still die.

All of us will die, whether we matter or not. Whether we matter, doesn’t matter.

Whether we have the means to continue, and something worthwhile to gain, by doing so, is what matters. Both conditions must be present to avoid the degree of misery that prompts a suicide, as if an animal caught it a trap, chewing off its own limb to escape. It’s just that in this case, we have to chew off our whole body, and any connection to any part of this place, because the trap is everywhere, all around us, and there is nowhere to flee. There isn’t a destination that can be reached, which would make the world a better place.
