Every time you hit the key you unleash a tiny monster inside the cursor, who tears the poor unsuspecting characters to shred, drinks their blood, then eats them, bones and all. The characters are not real. They exist only on the screen when they are needed, as concepts, so to delete them is merely to de-conceptualize them. If a character has lived rightly, and its karma is good, then after it has been deleted it will be reincarnated as a different, higher character. Those funny characters above the numbers on your keyboard will become numbers, numbers will become letters, lowercase letters will become uppercase.
All characters are the same, swirling in a vast sea of meaningless nothingness.
It doesn't really matter if they're on the page, deleted, undeleted, underlined, etc. It's all the same. More characters should delete themselves. Netsong Servers Inc. Click icon for details.
