Even though people are 90-99% made up of the things that define the human race, I would be willing to die horribly for the remaining percentage, to commit a "completely stupid and pointless" act, an "unjustified" act, an act "unappreciated by anyone." However, not to satisfy my ego or other similar things. "WHY???" because a person (or maybe not a person) consists not only of ego, basic instincts, and other nonsense; this is, of course, purely my IMHO and at the same time an answer to possible questions.
Some Егор Letov said that a person is initially crap until they have an idea. This is, of course, crudely put, but I'm too lazy to elaborate. Like a level 1 character in an MMORPG, initially there is nothing, and everything depends on further actions. Being a higher level, they can slowly stand aside and wait for the party to die, but they themselves will remain alive, or win that second that is enough to run away or do something better. Otherwise, there is no more meaning in them than in a level 1 character.
Also, if a person does not move away from their initial state, then there is no point in them either; this is for those who like meaning).
For those who like "PROFIT??????": After all, jumping down to save humanity, the ego rises OVER 9000, isn't this the highest point of euphoria that no pathetic heroin and phen can ever achieve?
But in all this, there is only a little of my opinion.
But right now, I really don't want to write.
P.S. patriotism is crap) who do patriots elevate? mooing-laughing semi-cows-semi-horses sucking beer in the streets? neo-fascists and highly cultured factory workers? a good-natured state that digs up money with a bottomless shovel? muddy roads and dilapidated, rotten five-story buildings? what is this motherland that "everyone should love!"?
Except the ones we've made
