—Vanessa Huang
it seems like there are
so many people for whom
the concept of pain is obviously
more tantalizing and alluring than
the (seemingly much more logical?
obvious? clear as a bell?) notion that
while it inevitably shows up at times,
it is something that should be avoided
(duh!)
at pretty much all costs. perhaps it would
be well advised that when the patient reaches
such a threshold, departing a life that reflexively
goes out of its way not to bump into it and instead
literally embraces the “pleasure” that could be had
with it, therefore in a focused and driven manner,
seeking it out on every horizon, running oneself
directly into it until one is consumed by it; i mean,
if, it’s even possible that there is such a threshold,
when it is crossed one should be directed to
reverse that demonic course post haste.
but i know how impossible it would be
to lure one back over to other side.
