“Only he who can see the end can have hope for the future. The illusionists may believe they can give people hope but their foundations are wet and loose. When a man sees the end and comes back full of hope and vigor then it means something.”

“And the end eliminates so much that is superfluous!”

“It simplifies the arduous task of separating and editing life.”

“And those who parade around as hope itself?”

“Phony bastards who only hope a targeted audience will keep them rich in coin.”

“So has he described this end? Does he talk about it?”

“No but I know he’s seen it.”

“The end comes when the women get pissed at you.”

“Why were they angry at him?”

“He thanked them for liberating him from old expectations so that he could pursue his creative aspirations without guilt just as a good woman will now pursue a career in finance. In doing so, the women made his life easier and better. They put substance back into his poetic soul.”

“But?”

“Underneath it all they were jealous and resented the hell out of him.”

“And don’t tell me….he laughed.”

“Yes, he laughed so now they pursue him like harpies and want nothing but misery for him.”
