Quote by Billy Poon

“Capitalism has a way of making us all hypocrites. While there are people who are being exploited in making our clothes, devices, and other conveniences, we remain ignorant of their plight and continue to support companies that do those heinous acts. This principle is similar to euthanasia. We all know that billions of people are suffering worldwide, yet instead of giving them a peaceful ending, we exploit them for what they are worth and squeeze the life out of their hearts only for us to profit from their deaths.”

“There will be people who would need euthanasia, mainly to 'get out' of their current situation, one that was created by capitalism itself. Since capitalism cannot profit from someone once they are dead, its commandment now is to make all life valuable and precious and to protect it by all means, so it can continue exploiting us.”

“The mental and physical terror, along with extreme discomfort, is excruciating and debilitating. To truly understand the enormity and cruel extent of the incapacitation and dread in the waking nightmare of akathisia, one must experience it firsthand.”

“Enough?' Vitarus said, incredulous. 'Enough? What is it to suffer enough? The mouse suffers at the fangs of a snake. The snake suffers a the claws of a badger. The badger suffers at the teeth of a wolf. The wolf suffers at the spear of a hunter. There is no such thing as enough suffering.”

“Do not fear to suffer; - cares sink back Into the earth again from their heaviness; Heavy are the mountains, heavy are the seas. The trees which you planted as a child Have long since grown too heavy; you do not deceive them. But the winds ... but the spaces ...”

“One of the most crushing indictments of Protestantism is that it has rejected the idea of the necessity of penance, and by doing so has out-dated and made meaningless large sections of the Bible. Probably no virtue is more insisted on in the Bible than the virtue of penance. "Unless you shall do penance, you shall all likewise perish." His Cross does not dispense us from the obligation of taking up our cross: "Unless a man take up his cross and follow Me, he cannot be My disciple." If Christ's sacrifice made further sacrifice unnecessary, the continuance of pain in the world presents more than a problem, in fact a contradiction.”

“In the heart of our deepest struggles lies the brilliant light of our inner strength, unyielding and luminous. May this eternal beacon guide you through the shadows of Akathisia, illuminating the path towards resilience, hope, and indomitable courage. For it is not the scale of our challenges that shapes us, but the depth of our bravery. Remember, within every trial lies the opportunity to reveal our most authentic selves.”

“Akathisia's stygian abyss, where immeasurable restlessness tears the matrix of the psyche apart, is where beauty, love, and resilience find their most resolute expression. Even though Akathisia makes the body a puppet to an unseen puppeteer and the soul a vessel adrift in turbulent seas, human strength is the ability to find grace amidst chaos, cultivate love in desolate landscapes, and summon resilience in the face of despair and deterioration. Thus, amid mental and physical anguish, humanity's indomitable spirit transforms suffering into a crucible that yields a transcendent understanding of beauty, love, and the will to overcome. We become wise, compassionate, and resilient through suffering in this crucible.”
