Truth of Darkness

 The true darkest day is the 21st. However, Christmas is in fact the solstice celebration wearing an atheist skinsuit, meaning, locally speaking, today is symbolically the darkest day. 

 What is the darkest possible truth? The most difficult to accept? The most dangerous to hold or attest to? What is the worst possible case?

 Here's my candidate: in fact, for most humans, suicide is the correct answer.

 Yes, it is hopeless. Yup, you fucked up too bad, and it's way too late to fix it. It will not get better. You are inherently constructed of anti-Existence energy and the only viable solution is to cease existing. 

 But don't worry, egalitarianism is false. Yes, that makes you special (in a bad way) (albeit it's not that special due to being so common). Just because suicide is the correct answer for some doesn't mean it's the correct answer for all. The guy you hated the most is probably just better than you. It was Envy. You didn't want suicide to be the correct answer, but it is. Sucks to be you. 

 Homo sapiens is a species that reliably creates vast masses for whom suicide is the correct answer. The species itself is screwy.

 Darwinian evolution did nothing to to prevent this and is unlikely to do anything to prevent it in the future. Even if y'all kill youselves, mass birth will always create a new underwater class. 

 Bonus round: those for whom suicide is especially correct are especially unlikely to kill themselves. 


 So anyway, that beating over with, the real question is this: if this is true, can you accept it? Are you strong enough? Look, if scholarship doesn't hurt sometimes, you're doing it wrong. Turns out reading quietly in your room by yourself has a Martial aspect to it.

 If you're too weak, what other possible truths are you too weak to accept? How far does it go? Which possibilities must you discard before you can even assess them?
 Is your worldview buggy because you're too weak to accept the truth that would make it all fit together?
