“ Somebody took my actual physical presence away and substituted this ”
You will be required to do wrong no matter where you go. It is the basic condition of life, to be required to violate your own identity. At some time, every creature which lives must do so. It is the ultimate shadow, the defeat of creation; this is the curse at work, the curse that feeds on all life. Everywhere in the universe.
~ Philip K. Dick
To live is to be haunted.
If you think this Universe is bad, you should see some of the others.
No single thing abides, and all things are fucked up.
