The Moral

I'm writing a series. A chronicle of a sort.

A world in my head, so much like our own, but so different.

Over and over again, through out the history of this little world, they try to save it. Over and over again, they succeed- but by saving it, they break it, just a little bit more.

They don't, in the end. It was always always doomed to fail. This world, since the beginning, was always doomed to end.

So why do I write it? What's the point? What's the story? What do we learn? Isn't that the point of stories? To learn something?

I think the point of the story is that its okay in the in between. It's okay in the little moments. Even if it is al doomed to end, it was all worth it. The moajority of the time, the majority of people were in pain. But those few and far between moments were worth it.

It feels diminishing of the horrors and the terrors. Nothing should make the slavery, the exploitation, the hunger, the war, the hopelessness, the pain, the rape okay. Nothing.

But would we give all of it up to avoid that? Could we really just end it all and not even hope to try?

I'm not really certain its a good moral, or a good point.

But that's what it happens to be. The example to kind of help answer that question. Wanted to save it somewhere in case I forgot while writing t.
