"Why Bother?"

A dying planet-spinning in space surrounded by the debris of it's own failure. Mad tyrants rule over the faltering nations, giving orders to destroy hundreds of innocents without lifting a finger, watching the world outside crumble from the comfort of their ermine couches. Outside the bodies pile up, killed in many ways-flood, famine, disease or a radioactive charged bullet to the head.

The very planet begins to tear itself apart, sensing the end is near, as the ice that has stood for millenia crumbles and melts, utterly destroying the balance of this fragile world.

In one last, fatal act of this heartbreaking planetary tragedy, this world is swallowed up by beings of greed and destruction that were the only forms of life to have the chance to stop the cataclysm.

THE END
















Gotta get off this rock...

If you don't get this consder yourself either stupid or...whatever.

Apologies for pushing you over the edge. Hopefully with my elongated pole you'll be able to grasp onto and make your way back, hopefully on the way finding the meaning of your life.

You may have pushed me over the edge Icarus...But no-even if we are all going to die because of the atmosphere eventually, it's not yet, and I can still sign all the forms and send the 10p a day to help those who are dying already.

I think it's best kept that way in your case.

Well if you are thirty one then it is your generation which is to blame! All this crap has come out of you, especially global warming, while you just sat and did nothing. What can I do? If I'm some pretentious teen then I can't exactly change the world. I can't even vote. I sign all the little forms, I go everywhere on a bike or public transport out of choice, but I can't exactly do anything about it ecept whine AND THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT!

I must admit, I've tried to 'get beyond' my misanthropy and nihilism, but in the end I always return there.

Is it? It's only when you get to my age you realise that your mentality hasn't changed much at all from when you were a teen, only the responsibilities.

Anyhoo, I enjoy looking down on petulant kids that think the cruel, cruel universe revolves around them, so that makes us about equal. Open your wrists if you're so unhappy with the state of the world, or better yet, quit whining and try and do something about it. :D

Heh, knew you'd say that. So, if the world was so bad that death actually seems better, why not go ahead? You have cables, wires, electronic equipment - plenty of methods and opportunities to proceed with the better option.

A 31 year old with the mental age of a teenager-now there's a phenomenon. No offense, but I enjoy being offensive to people like you, so don't feel like you are a special case.

Death.

Why bother?

You have any better alternatives?
