Get ethomaz and aldro in here.

They need to face reality.

reality is overrated


Reality is all there is. Self-delusion will only end in misery.

 

no it doesn't ! not if i die before i get disaffected!


Death is the ultimate source of suffering. One which none can escape. At that moment everything you've (consciously) ever known is stripped away from you and (for most people) it's the first encounter with true fear.

yeah, but it's the same if i had faced reality, at least i die with living a happy life of self delusion, and i can still die without warning

No. The mentality of being 'blissfully ignorant' will serve no man at the time of death. It will merely serve as a reminder that one's whole life was spent chasing shadows and one now has to enter the dark without any knowledge of what lay ahead.

that is strange though, as i believe that only the self delusional claim to know what lies ahead. i think we just came full circle here.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’
