Oh, believe me, I had learned enough. I'd learned enough to know that it
really doesn't matter a bit. I began to look in the mirror and realize that
tomorrow, I will die. It doesn't matter if tomorrow is tomorrow, if
tomorrow is sixty years, or if tomorrow is sixty million years- I will die.
In the end, the dream is over. In the end, it's all just opinion. There is
no truth unless it is created, and no laws except the ones we impose.
Fantasy is merely reality without inhibitions. As for being a "walking
vapor-person", I seem to be more aware of the nature of life than the people
I seem to meet and work with every day, who actually think that they're
accomplishing something! Or that, perhaps, they are right about something!
Yet, I'm afraid, everyone is wrong. Everyone is, essentially, a walking
corpse, a doomed machine thinking that they actually have this fiction
called "free will".
