See, Koromo, this is wherein lies my Steppenwolf complex. There is a serious hippy side to me, a well as a parental side, that wants to find harmony. I moved to the woods to live off the land and commune with nature and have discovered a hippy community where we all strive to understand each other and live together, setting up little farmers markets where we barter and trade goods, a bushel of corn for a circle of goat's cheese, a basket of apples for some eggs and homemade soap. But then I have this wild and anarchistic side that is so rebellious against, well, everything and all things at once. A side that wants to fight and rage. The funny thing it is the angry wild side of me that led me to the forest to begin with. So, I don't know. I am perplexed by Mr. McCarthy's comments here. Hell, I'm perplexed by Mr. McCarthy in general. I'm not really that nihilistic of a guy. I just like my creepypastas to be utterly nihilistic, and my most of my literature to be utterly nihilistic, for I see death as the ultimate truth in the end. But that doesn't mean that I don't think that "everyone could live in harmony", especially for my children's sake. But at the same time, I will never give up my soul or my freedom. You can bet on that.
