> And then one day, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl, sitting on her own in a small cafe in Rickmansworth suddenly realised what it was that had been going wrong all this time and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no-one would have to get nalied to anything. Sadly, however, before she could get to a phone to tell anyone, the Earth was unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass and so the idea was lost forever.
- PeterStuer 3y agoSure dude. To be explicit. I'm not claiming what I felt/experienced was 'the thruth' or even 'real'. Just think it was for me the most 'clear' vision in my life, and that I feel a mild sadness it was so fleeting.
- bo1024 3y agoDidn't mean to be negative toward you, it just reminded me strongly of that passage. Later (in a sequel?) the girl is introduced and she refers to the memory of that moment in a similar way.
