"I hope not. A sentient planet would just be another asshole intent on ruining my day at this rate. You know, I've been thinking. Yeah I know, it probably ain't my strong point. Still.
Well, anyways, the point I'm trying to get at, is that people ought to be happy with the recent shit. I mean, you'd think that they'd like the ideas of gods and whatnot. 'pparently not. The way I see things is, we haven't really adjusted at all and chances are, we don't want to. Religions, belief and all that other stuff all gave life some sort of special importance, some sort of reason to live (plus the uncertainty of death also helps quite a bit). Issue is, we see the gods, that all right and all, but they're fucking useless. I mean, they seem like alright guys overall, but there's nothing about them that gives existence much of a meaning like they did when they were all mysterious and crap. Plus, since we all know what awaits us when we die, there's no damn uncertainty. We evolved to fear death, we developed to fear death and I guess we've just sorta blown loud everywhere in front of everything seeing as death, well, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal. I mean, none of the afterlives seem that bad, hell, not even Hell itself if whatsherface is to be believed. I guess this all just make our lives that much more pointless if you get what I'm saying, I mean, I know it's a pretty dickish thing to say but it doesn't really seem to matter much if Marcus gets ganked. I mean, there'd probably be some way to keep in touch with him so it isn't like it's any worse than him moving to another academy or something.
I think I said 'I mean' a bit too much there."
Louis sighs in exasperation before muttering more to himself than anyone else "Fuck, and now I'm getting existential. Bloody brilliant."
