Quoted By:
Had quite the dream last night as my heart rate in sleep dropped to 35 BPM.
I was in a place where there were uncountable of humans in congregation, through some system of array or collective, being treated in ways that were incomprehensible to me, by things I could not quite perceive outside of lights and shadows.
I was told that this was simply my kind being treated equally to how my kind had treated other things, that the horror and tragedy I felt was subjective, and said entities did not care, because that too was reflective of how my kind treated others, with apathy. In that, there were a few screams of misery and woe, but mostly just suffering without knowledge of suffering.
When I asked why I was allowed to witness this, and not be subjected to same torment, the overseers of said system chuckled a bit and said
"Who says you are not? You are the one witnessing and aware, in that, that is enough. You can do nothing but watch, with full knowledge, and you know in your heart that this is neither cruel nor kind; merely reflective.
I pointed to a human who was suffering quietly without knowledge of suffering and I said "And what of this one? This one has done nothing to earn suffering."
The overseeing things pointed at a lamb "And what of this one? It did nothing to earn suffering."
"Is that all we are to you? Resource? Cattle? Meat? Are we not something more?"
Again I was pointed to the lamb, the chicken, the fish.
"Are they not nothing more?"
I sat and pondered more, aware this place was one of ultimate reflection, in regards to all things, the overseers where not cruel, but rather reflections of ourselves, our own apathy, our own logic twisted against ourselves.
I asked to wake up, and I was told "You may wake, but you will remember, and you will reflect, and there is nothing you can do to prevent this. Suffering is the fate of Mankind"
I hate this answer, I hate this reflection, and there needs to be another answer.
