The Mortal
State
Purge took not only 4 billion lives, but the spark that fuelled change
and purpose. Was this spark what some called the human soul? How
could humanity live without that spark?
And the truth is, we cannot. We don’t live. We are only surviving,
and by the crudest means possible.
But humanity was dead either way.
But now, may I ask you another question? A simple hypothetical
situation. Say I presented to you the same switch. If you pull it, half
the population of the world will die immediately. But now, what if I
told you that if you didn’t pull the switch, the entire human race will
become extinct in one hundred years?
Would you pull the switch?
I have had my doubts and my delusions, but I have made my
decision. My eyes have been opened and I can see the world from a
side I did not know existed. I have realised that humanity cannot
live any other way. Reader, I hope you have learnt from this, in
whatever kind of reality your world has become. If you ever find
yourself in doubt, have faith.
