An Essay on Earthly Torment

An Essay on Earthly Torment

By CharlesAldux | CharlesAldux | 22 Oct 2022


Religions see pregnancies as a miracle. But all I can sense is the horrific element of the pain which is both physical and mental which the latter could become second-hand if exposed. Ever since I worked at Wendy's and saw a pregnant co-worker get rushed to the ER from passing out with her head slamming extremely hard against the floor and metal fryers I couldn't resist disagreeing more. I still receive traumatic flashbacks of seeing it happen less than 5 feet from me. It is one reason I abstain from sex in general.

I had another co-worker who was aged 16 there who was the definition of promiscuous, already on her third child and was sleeping with a 30 plus year-old man for drugs. I have never looked at pregnancy as a holistic thing but a beastial sort of partaking. If it is so holy then why is it so common? And if it is so grandiose then why must there be the barbaric and horrid possible side effects besides just giving birth? What kind of madman designs such machinations of agony so intricately? Cack (meaning nonsense) I say.

But everyone has their own views and opinions, and the fact is that nobody is right in this damnable place we call earth. A prison, yes... that is what we are in. A prison with prison guards that do not step in to confront the monsters known as man yet claim to condemn them. And I cannot trust these prison guards that people call God or the gods/demons of earth. The true inventors of agony wait as we walk and live through their own version of Pan's Labyrinth awaiting our demise. And only then will they do their job as they view themselves higher than the infinite agony that transpires among the labyrinth that we live through. The very inspiration for what people deem as a God Complex. And it's quite a depressing philosophy of my mind but nothing will change my mind or not at least until the Labyrinth falls. A childish yet mythically lustful transpiration of a peaceful fantasia.
