So, no really, No Cops banging on my door or any of that BS, OK?

I just started reading (re-reading actually, but I didn't know it) a story by one of my favorite authors. The big issue is that I agree with one of the Characters that I'm not supposed to. Not going into detail here.

Lots, or most of us know what it is to be profoundly lonely. Along with that, lots of us know what it is to be in lots and lots of pain. My very rigid beliefs still hang on in spite of the fact that those who still believe like I do, seem to do nothing but hurt those who don't measure up to their exacting specifications.

In the Book I follow, there are no promises of a happy, pain free life.

Nothing actionable here. But given the choice, I think I'd choose OFF. That doesn't seem acceptable because there might be something who silently watches and admires my life...
