Still thinking about this quote from Zizek:
“But in a radically atheist universe, you are not only responsible for doing your duty. You are also responsible for deciding what is your duty.”
I think I've decided that my purpose is to write books that advocate for a more compassionate world.

In the story Langella says, "Earth is a world that forgot how to change for the better," and I hope that isn't actually true, but it sure feels true. I truly hope we can prove that wrong in the near future.
