thinking/knowing/living - SCP Foundation

the worst part of living

if you really think about it

is thinking.

immortality

it wouldn't be so bad

if you didn't have to notice.

the only way

that one could stand knowing

anything

is the knowledge that one day

with luck

they may forget.

and so we sat down

learned the core mechanics

and decided to live forever

as stupid fools.

but it was misaligned

the others knew nothing

and through the worst of fortunes

I knew everything.

an eternity

of knowing.

all conversations known.

all possibilities conceived.

all people understood.

there is nothing

that I do not know.

I know that

there is nothing

that I do not know.

there is no meaning

when there are no questions.

there are no questions

when there is no meaning.

I know I cannot be cured

of the plague called life.

I know I cannot not know.

hear my words and

take them to

your enviable grave.

the most grievous wound

that anyone can inflict

is knowing.

the most beautiful gift

that anyone can share

is not.

and so with my curse

I gift the world.

secure knowledge.

contain wisdom.

above all

protect the stupid

for their lot is enviable.
