I read a lot about
Terrible things that people have done to each other
You just cannot
Even imagine it, it's so awful!
So you don't wanna be someone like that
Now do you have a reason to be?
Yes, you have lots of reasons to be!
God, there's reasons to be resentful about your existence
Everyone you know is gonna die
You too! And there's gonna be a fair bit of pain along the way
And lots of it's gonna be unfair
It's like, yeah!
No wonder you're resentful
It's like act it out, see what happens
You make everything you're complaining about
Infinitely worse!
There's this idea that hell is a bottomless pit
And that's because no matter how bad it is
Some stupid son of a bitch like you could figure out a way to make it a lot worse!
That's what life is like
It's suffering!
That's what the religious people have always said

I knew this guy he'd been in a motorcycle accident, and it really ruined him
And he was like a linesman, you know, working on the power and
He was working with someone who had Parkinson's disease, and they had complimentary inadequacies
And so two of them could do the job of one person
So they're out there fixing power lines in the freezing cold, despite the fact that one was three quarters wrecked, with the motorcycle accident
And the other one had
Parkinson
It's like, that's how our civilization works
There's all these ruined people out there
They've got problems like you can't believe, off they go to work, and do things they don't even like
And look, the lights are on, my God, it's unbelievable
