If we stop believing that, why would we get up in the morning?
( it's not a rhetorical question. it's frankβhope is a necessity. if they're not working for anything, what's the fucking point? there has to be the possibility of a when this is over, they have to believe that this is worthwhile, that it's for something. )
If we all believe, in our hearts, that ultimately everything we do is pointless, we're going to make that much effort. Not enough. We'll make it true through our own sense of inevitability. We won't try as hard. We won't work as smart. And we'll kill ourselves.
Certainly, this outpost is primarily staffed by the incompetent and the insane, where it is fucking staffed at all,
( ah, that old chestnut, )
but if the only future we contemplate is the one in which we've failed, we're never going to fight hard enough to succeed.
