1. We bear the perpetual torment known as Anxiety, which the divine bestowed upon us. Anxiety, a relentless specter, latches onto our existence, enveloping it in its monstrous grasp.

2. With the advancement of technology, we envisioned a utopia where everyone held hands, free from anxiety and devoid of conflicts.
   Alas, in reality, as technology advances, the realm of existence, in which we can revel in the true essence of our liberty, is now shrinking. Why do we desire to live in such a realm, where we are under surveillance, criticized, and labeled as deviants if we dare to voice our dissent?

3. Regardless of how much wealth and fame one may acquire, the reclamation of a diminished sphere of existence remains an impossibility. Shrinking is an irreversible process. The abrupt and cataclysmic contraction, namely implosion, is an improbable event, for the realm of existence gradually diminishes through a languid process, leaving one with irreparable consequences by the time we become aware of its gradual disappearance.

4. In stark contrast, the means of bringing about an abrupt expansion of the realm of existence, namely the explosion, are readily available. We simply need to resort to acts that shatter all existing values, such as unleashing nuclear devastation. Through such an action, we can rebuild an entirely new community from scratch and secure an abundant realm of existence for a considerable period of time.

5. Alas, humanity, in its folly, perpetually repeats the same actions. Once we succeed in reconstructing a semblance of civilized society, we joyfully jeopardize our very own sphere of existence.

6. Intrinsically, we seem to possess an inherently masochistic inclination. In our inherently masochistic nature, we derive pleasure from enduring relentless and ceaseless torment.
