      That’s morally simplistic and defeatist, don’t you think? An actual animal evolved enough to be unhappy with having animalistic traits, I find that rather hopeful.

        I do not. There is no reason for this level of awful. What hope am I supposed to cling on to? Why am I supposed to go on living? What do I have to look forward to? Civil War? Watching my friends and family starve? What good is there left?

          What’s with the framing of all that, like you showed up on Earth with preconceived notions of how nice it should be? I’ve got food, running water, vaccines, indoor plumbing, and free books. 99% of every human who ever lived would kill for half of that.

          I reject the idea that things should be nicer for me. Instead I only wish I could make things nicer for others, living or yet to come. That mindset is the only way it ever got this good.
