Your best essay yet. Excellent

Reminds of that story by Exurb1a.
‘We’ll know everything, and then we’ll be okay.’
‘We’ll kill everything, and then we’ll be okay.’
‘We’ll forget everything, and then we’ll be okay.’
‘We’ll live forever, and then we’ll be okay.’
‘We’ll cling to everyone, and then we’ll be okay.’
And even then, we weren’t okay.
