Everything's a race, isn't it? A race to grow up, a race to be loved, a race to fulfill yourself. Nobody ever slows down to wonder why we're racing. Nobody ever stops to look at the big picture; we're all going to die, anyway. Why should you try to care? Why should you change when all you'll be in the end is dust; exactly what you started as? Why should we try to come together when that which comes together falls apart? Everything falls apart. We will all be forgotten, our actions, our words, our morals, our wishes. Why should anything we do matter?

Why should THIS matter?
