Because, hereβs the truth: life is a catastrophe. The basic fact of existence β of walking around trying to feed ourselves and find friends and whatever else we do β is a catastrophe. Forget all this ridiculous βOur Townβ nonsense everyone talks: the miracle of a newborn babe, the joy of one simple blossom, Life You Are Too Wonderful To Grasp, &c. For me β and Iβll keep repeating it doggedly till I die, till I fall over on my ungrateful nihilistic face and am too weak to say it: better never born, than born into this cesspool. Sinkhole of hospital beds, coffins, and broken hearts. No release, no appeal, no βdo-oversβ to employ a favored phrase of Xandraβs, no way forward but age and loss, and no way out but death.
