Putting those two seeming truths together, Midnight was once again forced to ask such confused and searching questions like: What is this place, where am I heading? And what’s the deal with all the ruddy bananas? ↗
Our Western Civilization is in its death throes right now. We cannot stop the wheel from turning; ergo, we cannot save Western Civilization. All we can do is preserve what we can of it and use it as the foundation for the birth for our next civilization. ↗

I realized that I have spent so many years being on a diet that the idea that you might actually need calories to survive has been completely wiped out of my consciousness.
