bringing to bear

What is wrong with these people?
They’re smiling while they insult.
They’re smiling at an insult.
They’re insulting to a smile.
A real one.

People are starting to realize they don’t have to do anything. Its not really up to any of us anymore. We are finally coming to the point where it dawns on us: nothing is out there, and when we die we’ll have only a corpse. You don’t so much see it as you sense it. How often you’ve been disappointed- how it never ceases to bruise- and how clear it is that magic is an insult. How childhood seemed pleasantly torturous. People are becoming a person.
