It's so damn hard though. It feels like everyone with money and power is deeply inspired by every distopian novel or movie in existence

    I'm not sure if Suffering O'Brien is necessarily the best choice for this meme, because it kinda implies that the moment things start looking up, a simulated lifetime of prison trauma is waiting around the next corner...

    He also has a loving wife and two kids. He loves his job (most days) and seems genuinely fulfilled in life.

    Yeah that's likely because DS9 is, at its core, an episodic series. If my life mostly reset every Monday, that would make things quite a bit more tolerable.

    He is the poster child for that exact reason. He keeps getting the shit end of the stick... but he keeps going because he has an awesome support system that makes everything better.

    It is an eternal meme. A trope. The Bibble has Job. Star Trek has Miles. Job lost his family and children to gamblor and miles loses them to the pah wraiths and a time hole. The parallelograms are there, it's in revelations people.

    Despite everything that has happened, O'Brien has worked through it with counseling and the support of his family and friends. Something to aspire to if you get your fair share of hardships too.

    Eh, if you can't find reasons to stay alive, there's always spite.

    The universe might be out to get me, but at least I'll go down fighting.

    Or, as someone much more versed in words put it:

    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    Eh, if you can’t find reasons to stay alive, there’s always spite.

    Spite is great until it isn't. Then it shatters and won't support weight again.

    I don't think I can.

    All I see on the horizon is, at best, eco-fascism and at worst the slow crumbling of humanity before nuclear annihilation.

    Why continue to have eyes if all I can see is destruction? Why continue to have ears if all I can hear is hatred? Why continue to have a mouth if the only words I can speak is righteous anger and cries of despair?

    The glimmers of happiness get fewer and further between as life goes on. I just yearn for the long sleep; it feels like it'd be peaceful, unburdened, my metaphorical shoulders fucking hurt and I'm tired.
