Dysphasia

Everything resides within my mind.

Once I know what it is, then I can face death.

But until then, it's better for me to shut up and embrace a beautiful lie:
that the world is true and kind, and I shoulder all the blame for my
pessimism.
Isn't it magnificent to believe in something?

Like the difference between a cult and a religion.
In the former, the leader is alive;
in the latter, they are dead but have many followers.
Who decides which is which?

Of course, Death, vie et splendeur!
