You spend your entire life becoming God and then you die.

You spend your entire life becoming God and then you die.

Summary

This quote suggests that the journey of self-discovery and personal growth is likened to the pursuit of divinity. It implies that throughout one's lifetime, individuals strive to attain a deeper understanding of themselves, their purpose, and their potential. However, it also acknowledges the transient nature of human existence, as death eventually brings an end to this process of self-realization. Ultimately, it highlights the inherent paradox of life, where the pursuit of becoming godlike is juxtaposed against the inevitability of mortality.

People are always shouting they want to create a better futu

People are always shouting they want to create a better future. It's not true. The future is an apathetic void of no interest to anyone.

The placebo is only a tangible object made essential in an age that feels uncomfortable with intangibles, an age that prefers to think that every inner effect must have an outer cause.
