Quote #10
"Just look at them trundling along pretending that cataclysmic nothingness isn't waiting for them just round the bend. I watch them sometimes and I think that it doesn't really matter how much I worry about them. It's all over so fast. A bit of suffering—an entire lifetime, even. It's nothing, really." He pauses. "In the greater scheme of things, they may as well be fruit flies. So what if no one answers their prayers? Poof! Wait a minute or two, and your problem is gone. Dead. Buried. Forgotten." (45.28)
Hm. Easy for Mr. B to say, but a lifetime feels pretty long if you're the one living it. (Pro tip: put out some apple cider vinegar to trap those fruit flies.)
