Venting Life is the curse that’s wired to self-destruct

[Darkover]

if you love someone you don't bring than alive to somewhere you lose them forever
if love means anything if it's real how could it allow for that kind of loss? To bring someone into this world,
knowing that not to far into the future you will lose them forever that's not love that's pure lack of consideration for other people.
to bring someone alive facing their total destruction is just pure cruelty where everything you care about will be ripped from you eventually
and if someone truly loved you really loved you why would they doom you to that?
if love meant protecting someone, truly caring about their experience, you wouldn't throw them into a world where pain is guaranteed, where death is certain
if someone truly loved me why did they bring me here to suffer at all?
if love meant protection, care, mercy you wouldn't subject someone to this. to heartbreak, loneliness, illness, despair…
and then eventually, death. no matter how you spin it, no matter how much joy or beauty might happen along the way it still ends in loss. every time.
so how can you call that love? you can't. not honestly.

tbh i wouldn't be surprised if voluntary extinction is actually a canonical evolutionary "finale" of sorts in intelligent species.
