I am now as they who ate from the Tree of Life and found Truth to be unbearable.
Oh, would that I had lived out my days in blissful ignorance. On this day of my nativity, the light of truth has pierced my clenched eyelids; indeed, my entire being has been laid waste by the terrible ray of Realization. It is more than a mortal can bear.
What course shall I take in pursuit of Sanctuary? How may I regain the paradise of unintelligibility? Shall I be redeemed by merely shoving my big, slow, ugly quad off a cliff? Nay, nay! The Almighty forbids it! For the curse visited upon men by the demons of Bombardier shall not be relieved by the efforts of men. It is the cross we, nay, I, must bear alone.
My soul cries Anguish! Damn thee, damn thee, damn thee 5150harvey! Well met, though the thrice damning of thee and thy progeny shall accomplish naught in the effort to erase knowledge from my brain. Again I ask, shall I expiate my memory by the abrogation of the object itself? Woebetide, destruction of an object does not rid the mind of the memory of the object.
Suddenly, a stirring in my brain. A thought, an idea. A faint flickering of understanding that that kindles a thousand points of light! What a wicked irony, that with the curse of knowledge comes the heretofore unknown ability to reason and understand. And what of this enlightenment? That the unbearable pain of the enlightened being can be ended by the ending of the being itself! God would not be cruel enough to visit my mortal curse upon me in the Hereafter! A plan, then! And quickly! The vessel containing knowledge must be cleaved open and the matter spilled out!
Sweet, eternal sleep, I seek you! Enfold me in your shroud of purple and black velvet and save me from the LIGHT!!!!!
I cast myself into the Abyss. Death is the reward.
