The comforts of hell.

The biggest fear

of humanity

is not death

but life

 

for living

is to take risks

is to be uncomfortable

and we strive, starve

for sleep, for death

a comfort that

rest, media, consumerism, retirement

promises.

 

That comfort is addictive

that comfort is what it is to die

without resistance,

we are blind to it,

work towards it

 

when it is the devil

guiding us like horses

with blinkers,

blind, and ******

to the comforts of hell.
