"[The
sadness] It covers my eyes. It's all I can see. Say there's some kids playing
baseball. All I see is the one kid they won't let play because he tells corny
jokes. And no-one thinks they're funny. Or I see a boy and a girl in love and
kissing, you know. I just see that they're gonna be one of those sad old
couples one day who just cheats on each other and can't even look at each other
in the eye. And I feel it. I feel all of their sadness. I feel it probably even
worse than that sad old couple or that corny kid will ever feel it."
"There's another thing to learn about tears, they can't make somebody who
doesn't love you any more love you again. It's the same with prayers. I wonder
how much of their lives people waste crying and praying to God. If you ask me,
the devil makes more sense than God does. I can at least see why people would
want him around. It's good to have somebody to blame for the bad stuff they do.
Maybe God's there because people get scared of all the bad stuff they do. They
figure that God and the Devil are always playing this game of tug-of-war game
with them. And they never know which side they're gonna wind up on. I guess
that tug-of-war idea explains how sometimes, even when people try to do
something good, it still turns out bad."
"Maybe it
makes sense now. Maybe somewhere in all of this there's a reason. Maybe
somewhere in all of this there's a why. Maybe somewhere there's that thing that
lets you tie it all up with a neat bow and bury it in the backyard. But
nothing, not getting angry, not prayers, and not tears, nothing can make
something that happened unhappen."
"The worst
part is knowing that there is goodness in people. Mostly it stays deep down and
buried. Maybe we don't have God because we're scared of the bad stuff. Maybe
we're really scared of the good stuff. Because if there's no God, well, that
means it's inside of us and we could be good all the time if we wanted. So when
we do bad things, it'd be because we want to or because we have to. Or maybe we
just need the bad stuff to remind us what the good stuff is in the first
place."
 
אולי פוסט די חסר משמעות; הכל ציטוטים. מצד שני, כשהכל נאמר בצורה כ''כ יפה, מי אני שאנסה לנסח מחדש משהו שמושלם כמו
שהוא. אז אולי, בעצם, זה לא חסר משמעות. כי בעצם, הכל נאמר בציטוטים האלה.
