So then, why should this bumbling, psychopathic, stupid, suicidal, stagnant bastard even continue to exist? At least that clone would do better. At least that clone could fix whatever situation he'd end up in. At least that clone could succeed in life. At least that clone could improve.
I think you're not giving yourself enough credit.
A very close friend told me something once. A little backstory first- when I was in severe pain and bleeding internally from Crohn's disease and forced to go to a mandatory P.o.D. class (Problems of democracy/government class) for my last year of high school, I greeted them. That's it. They weren't my friend at the time. They weren't sitting next to me. While in agony, I said hi.
I didn't know that they had one of the worst weekends of their life. I didn't know about the abuse they just went through before school. Sometimes just saying a word can help someone feel like life is worth living.
So hello.
To anyone that needs it, hello.
