A Slow Descent

A Slow Descent,,I'm sitting on the edge of a mountain. Sitting there on the slow descent, I remembered a long time ago: birthdays, Christmas, growing up, the first kiss of the first love, parents, brothers and sisters. And the other half tells me about the slow descent into the mental illness of the entire human world; eventually, doctors will diagnose us all with "schizophrenia." ""Read Resurrection—" a work by the Russian writer Tolstoy. Tolstoy's "Resurrection," perhaps the darkest novel I've ever read, is essentially a slow descent from privilege and power to the horror and brutality engendered by poverty and ritual oppression. This is a slow but sure slide towards complete anarchy. I think they want to make a long slow descent for safety. It's a slow-motion descent into purgatory. It feels like everything is going to hell, and all we're doing is slowing down the descent.,,   • A Slow Descent
