'Your problem is that you are far too optimistic.'
'Its always worked before.'
'These are different times.'
'We'll find a way out of this, we always do.'
'Its different. There's nothing to find.'
'There's always a way out.'
'No there isn't. Not always. Remember this: there is no God. That sentence alone tells us so much ,and we accept it implicitly, but somehow we quit believing in Him and at the same time never quite grasped the consequence.'
'What's that?'
'We have no destiny. Nothing is determined. It isn't all going to just turn out. We can go away and the universe won't care.'
'We can still turn it around.'
'Maybe. Maybe not. Sometimes you go too far and the only conclusion is that you've gone too far. It's our blindspot.'
'What is?'
'We don't think we can go too far. None of us really believe that its possible to go too far. Even as we fight for this and picket for that and argue the other, we don't really believe that we won't find a way out of it.'
'yeah well..'
'How do you feel?'
'I feel fine.'
'Exactly.'
