Description
Liberation isn't always smiles and freedom. Sure, I moved on from my old life to a better new life. But liberation also means *cutting* yourself away from your old life. Memories, good and bad. Sometimes I find myself wanting to pay my old room one last visit. I had to leave the people in my old life. Everyone. Old friends, old enemies, old friends turned enemies. People come and go. It's natural, but separation hurts. My new life isn't without problems, either. Sometimes I can feel that I'm losing myself. I want to preserve what the misery of my old life taught me. I want to keep that lesson. I don't want to forget it in the joy of my new life. However, people get used to luxury. It makes people forget. About themselves. What they love and hate.
There's no way around hurting in life. Humans need to eat to live. To eat, they kill plants and animals. If they don't want to kill any of those, they'll starve to death and kill themselves. The opportunity you picked up is what the other person would have if you didn't pick it up. It's either your misery, or theirs. Whatever you do, there will always be misery.
The worst part is, the world is cruel because it's composed of people who do their best to be their best to do their best. You'd probably think it's the reason the world is worth living in, but it's not. It's cruel because, for everything you have, it's what someone else could not have. For every of your kills worth bragging about, someone is mourning the corpse. And each and every one of us is a precious soul; when we take, someone else loses. When we step, someone else gets tread on. And everyone wants to live well without having to hurt each other. But hurting each other is a must to survive.
That said, we can never be sure if we're doing the right thing. Most people would say that it's best to say "to hell with it" and live on, because it's best to keep on living. But sometimes it's better to die a hero over living to see yourself become the villain. But it isn't that simple. With all these contradictions and the fact that everything, including our accomplishments, whatever we give to future generations and even the world itself will wither away, die and be forgotten someday, is the hassle of living life until the very end worth it?
Sometimes I just want to end it rather quickly, when nothing is enjoyable anymore. But it isn't that simple.
Nothing ever is.
Trick question: Whose thoughts are these?
Inspired by Eversion, Blumenkranz (KLK OST), Fatal Frame 2, MMX7, MMX8 and personal experience.
PS: I know the world sucks, but it's no reason not to enjoy life and be happy anyways.
Trick question #2: Who would write that PS?
UPDATE: I uploaded the deviation on Pixiv. Because dA doesn't have a function to upload image sets, I can only upload the very final product here. I couldn't display other sets of the picture (Axl's white side, the unglitched landscape) here, so here goes: www.pixiv.net/member_illust.ph…
Might upload them to Sta.sh later though.
