"You can't be."
"Why?"
"It is everywhere, everyone. How could you hate it? It is keeping you alive."
"I fear most things that keep me alive."
"Why?"

"I dont think there is curiosity, just a wish for the answer to be what we want to hear."
"That is stupid."
"Do you really think so?"
"Yes, but it is okay. Most things are stupid."
"Us too."
"Most of the time, yes."
