I don't usually admit this publicly, because I tend to think that they only go so far, and their view of the world is rather simplistic.

In the world to come there will be no room for such people. The dying are beautiful, but to live, to survive; those things somehow seem hideous and contaminated with blood. ~Osamu Dazai
