Why did I cause so much pain?
Didn’t I realize that each of us is a sacred, unique snowflake of special unique specialness?

We are not special.
We are not crap or trash, either.
We just are.
We just are, and what happens just happens.
And God says, “No, that’s not right.”
Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can’t teach God anything.”

There is no free will.
There are no variables.”
