Moral of the story: we're all at rock bottom.

Moral of the story, the more well rounded you are, the more gravity will drag you down into the abyss. But squares? Oh yeah, they’re staying right where they are. It’s hip to be square.

I want to be a dodecahedron ❤️

Hey yeah, we're all miserable! That's better somehow!

...Wait, no it isn't. Hmm.

Yeah. Whenever someone tells me "you're not the only one suffering," it never makes me feel better.

It's like, "so I'm right, then? The world is shit, and it's fucking everyone over? It's not just in my head? Great, so life sucks and I have an even greater reason to feel shit..."

This is a circle.

I'm so far from a perfect circle that people constantly call me a square.

Try to be a bit more 3dimentional, you know, so you can think outside the box.

That circle got assaulted and disfigured in the sixth panel. Send the yellow circle to jail!

Why do people feel the need to face their flaws as if that's an actual concept that exists?

Everything is subjective. Flaws aren't real. It's just dumb shit evil people shove down your throat and convince you you have so they can shut you down in arguments whenever it's convenient for them.

Aww. We're all imperfect little circles.

I hate this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It’s like when religious people say “well, actually we all deserve to go to hell!” It’s not comforting in the least.

True. But some circles are rounder and shinier.

It is a matter of trying to improve and feel good, while not comparing with other circles.
