There are bigger sacrifices one might be asked to make than going a little mad.
People like the idea that love makes the world go round. It doesn’t. You don’t lock your doors at night because you love thy neighbor, you deadbolt with reinforced steel because you fear thy neighbor. Fear is order. Fear is control. Fear is safety. Fear is fiction.

The only thing that scares me is being forgotten. I can survive most things, but not that.
We have reprogrammed reality. Language is a virus, religion an operating system, and prayers are just so much f***ing spam.

The truth is just information. And information will win the war for you, if you let it.
