        Fuck it, string me up on a cross then. If it means enduring world peace, sufficient climate action, and ecological restoration. Oh and also restorative justice, an end to poverty and hunger, and universal healthcare and education. Worldwide of course. Forever.

        I will however require binding and actionable guarantees first. Once the paperwork is in order I shall meet you in Gethsemane. Or shall we skip straight to Golgotha?

          This is likely the most brilliant comment I will read today, or any time soon. I’d punch out for any one of those things. Even for a solid chance, no guarantees needed.

            Yeah, I thought about settling for less. Maybe one or two things. But then I thought “wait a minute, if I die then I can’t keep fighting for the rest. If I live I can fight on for a few more decades, maybe make a bigger difference.”

            Maybe dying would be quicker and easier than living to fight for a better world, but knowing the snakes who would be doing the crucifying, if you leave them any room to wiggle out of their end of the bargain they’ll be shredding the contract before you’re done gasping out your last breaths.

            So don’t sell yourself short! You’re worth everything, or no deal.
