“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.”

“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.”
