Finesse

We’re here to eagerly pretend it matters.

Every word of that is essential. Neglect just one and you will suffer.

Heaven is eagerly pretending it matters.

Hell is forgetting you’re pretending. Or realizing it doesn’t matter and losing your eagerness to pretend.*

This is why happiness is so elusive and suffering so prevalent. You can’t just heedlessly press on. You need finesse. You need some frickin’ perspective.
