"This is the way the world ends..."

 "...Not with a bang but a whimper." (T.S. Elliot - "The Hollow Men")

 

"No idea what you do when the world ends."

Konstantin always thinks of this graph showing how the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is rising, and with it the heat. "Straight up," goes the line. "Where I think to myself, Lol, gross, there's so little benefit to what we're doing." Lol, laughing out loud, young people said back in the nineties, when sea levels were still several inches lower. Konstantin doesn't laugh. He just puckers his mouth." (faz.net)

What better reason to laugh than that the world is coming to an end...
and with it all these meaningless, hollow existences?

What value and what raison d'être is there in a world that produces such children, this "journalist" and all the others?
I will laugh out loud when I see you die, so at least your existence will have been good for something.
