I enjoy talking to you. Your mind appeals to me.
It resembles my own mind except that you

What happens if we go in search of truth and the person we trust to guide us instead incarcerates us and tortures us beyond madness until we are divested/disabused of all illusion? Is that what we signed up for? Is this person a benefactor or malefactor? Yes, he put us through the torments of the damned, but isn’t that what we asked for? Isn’t he the answer to our prayers? If we don’t like what we receive, maybe we should have been more careful in what we wished for.
