Just think what a massive “fuck you” to the universe it is to just suddenly cut off 3.7 billion years of continuous, uninterrupted survival success, from primordial seas of predators and prey on through ice ages and meteor impacts and the crust of Earth turning inside out… you can draw a line of survivors all the way from the first carbon molecules that started sticking together without breaking on through tiny animals huddled under charred stumps to early primates defeating their enemies to refugees escaping genocides… all the way down to you, personally standing there, deciding to cut the line.
It’s awful but also beautiful, like dropping an ornate, delicate vase off a 12-story building and filming it in slow motion.
