Come to think of it, I don’t want to save the world anymore. It’s not because I’ve tried. And it’s not because I’m tired.

But the world doesn’t want to be saved.

Those at war for a piece of barren land would still want to go to war for the sake of fighting for a piece of barren land. Fighting gives them something to do. They have something to die for and the war is something to die at.

Those who no longer love their loved ones stay in their marriage or relationship (or partnership or whatever name they give their ship…) for the sake of their marriage. They are there for the sake of being there. The marriage gives them something to be there for when they have nowhere else to be at.

When I came home from the land far away, I set myself out to save the world. I believed I had a beautiful soul and the whole world was supposed to be the garden of eden. Three years into this mission, I was woken up by a familiar song…
But I could have told you Vincent… this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
