This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I think this is what anti-natalists are going on about, that life is more painful than joyous, don't bring more conscious beings into it.

I understand that premise, but I'd argue that there is more good than bad in life, that while the universe may not care about any of us, there are plenty of genuinely beautiful moments out there, even just walking around your local park.

Death is certain, maybe some should be permitted to exit life early, but there's gotta be a way to show people nature's beauty. I don't really know where to go with this comment in truth. I just hope people in pain find genuine solace.
