>>311696>>311697There exists a thin barrier between sanity and the collapse of human reason a barrier necessitated by the infinite, cosmic ignorance required because the human mind cannot contain the totality of universal truth.
The beauty of nature, the vibrant hues of the sky, the vast oceans, all vistas of space or Earth everything we perceive as real and beautiful are, in truth, merely a lullaby, a fragile illusion crafted specifically to prevent the human mind from shattering. Humans believe they inhabit a coherent, complete world yet, our existence is but an echo of a single discordant note, or a tiny particle drifting within the dream of an ancient, incomprehensible entity of unfathomable scale.
This is why the ultimate horror is not physical death, but rather the moment the veil of illusion is torn away, exposing one to the absolute truth a reality so far beyond the bounds of human reason that the mere act of beholding it would instantly obliterate one’s sanity, leaving one to prefer death over the burden of a mind forced to comprehend the incomprehensible.
