A friend asked this not long ago (only a decade or so ago, my time) but for...reasons it has come to mind again.

If you could delete any problem you had, even erase it completely from your memory or make it as if it never existed, would you?

And if so, what kind of problems do you face that you would make you consider the question?

Sometimes it's scary, but I think it's better now...

[masked_god]

Hah. That's life, little one.

Do you think?

[masked_god]

Yes. But surely the good things make up for all the suffering, correct?

You're right. There are wonderful things out there. And the world really is worth something.

[masked_god]

It must be, to have kept spinning for so long.

[aquaticrush]

And even the bad people can learn, I think.

[masked_god]

Indeed. Even if it takes great hardship to do so.

[aquaticrush]

I know that you've been alive for a long time and you know a lot, but I do believe that things will turn out better.

[masked_god]

Perhaps. Or perhaps pain is more likely than happiness, but the momentary pleasures of love and affection are worth cherishing even for their rareness.

[aquaticrush]

It's not always more common to be hurt than to be happy.
