Silence by RORCAL

Hope is a chimera. It is an illusion that prevents us from
embracing an obvious fact however luminous in its
inevitability: we will soon be no more. There is no longer any
horizon for us, nor any tomorrow.
Humanity is inexorably running towards its loss and will
precipitate in its wake everything that made the world. No
other trajectory is taking shape, or sketching out. There is
nothing left to be saved. We will plunge into an abyss of
oblivion, into this great twilight rising before us.
And when facing the certainty of collapse, there is nothing
more hideous, more degrading, than hope. It is a lie. It blinds
us, it suffocates us. It is a myth to destroy. Only then will we
be able to accept the worst in everything. And cherish it.
Thus, when the very idea of hope finally disappears, only
silence remains.
