11. Well.....
I don't agree that there has to be a connection. You can accept that someone you love is going to die of cancer and want them to die (even for compassionate motives like relief of their pain) without getting out a gun and shooting them, or refusing to drive them to their chemo treatments, right?

We are doomed to the point where we deserve destruction, and furthermore, it's inevitable.

I accept and embrace that.

But if I believed that I had the power to help it come, I wouldn't hold my belief that we deserve destruction and are doomed. If I had the power to help bring it on, then millions of people working against it could stop it.

I can't.

They can't.

It's as inevitable as tomorrow's sunrise.

I know I am sounding contradictory; I don't think I really am, even if I'm too tired to express it properly tonight.
