T-Rex: Here is a fact: sometimes we love a thing, and then that thing isn't there anymore.
T-Rex: This causes us to experience an emotion called "grief"!
T-Rex: Terrific, right? Every time we love something we know we're setting ourselves up for one of two conclusions: we'll eventually feel grief when that thing is gone, or maybe, just maybe, we'll DIE FIRST and leave everyone else to feel grief instead.
T-Rex: Yaaaaaay
Utahraptor: There's a third option, my friend!
T-Rex: Oh, perfect! Just what I'm looking for. Lay it on me!
Utahraptor: Gradually stop loving that thing just a little bit more each day, ideally without even noticing! Then one fine day you'll wake up and realize there's no grief ahead of you anymore, but only a grey, blank indifference.
T-Rex: Can't wait, dude! But in the meantime, I've the following demands:
T-Rex: 1) Ability to stop being sad on demand
T-Rex: 2) No regret allowed between hours of 10pm and 4am
T-Rex: 3) All good emotions felt all the time forever
T-Rex: 4) THANKS IN ADVANCE
