"Weißt du, das hab ich nie kapiert. Warum es für die Leute als schlummste Beleidigung gilt, wenn man sie nach der Schamgegend einer Frau benennt. Mir scheint es so, dass es viel schlimmer wäre, wenn man nach den Geschlechtsteilen eines Mannes bennant würde. Ich meine, was stellt man sich vor, wenn man jemanden einen Pimmel schimpft?"

Want is an interesting word. It means lack. Sometimes if we fill that lack with something else the original want disappears entirely. Maybe you have a lack problem rather than a want problem.

I still want to die. I have wanted to die for quite a while. I have carefully calculated that the pain of m living as the bloody disaster that is myself is greather than the pain anyone else will feel if I were to die. In fact, I'm sure it would be a relief. I'm not useful o anyone. I was bad at work. I have disappointed everyone. I am a waste of a carbon footprint to be honest.I hurt people. I habe no one left. Not even poor old VOlts, who died because I coukdn't look after a cat properly. I want to die. My life is a disaster. And I want it to end. I am not cut out for living. And there is no  point through all this. Because I am clearly destined to be unhappy in other lives too. That is just me. I add nothing. I am wallowing in self-pity. I want to die.
