You were in good company: Vincent Van Gogh; Virginia Woolf; Salvador Allende; Hannibal; Sylvia Plath; Ernest Hemingway; Kurt Cobain; Seneca the Younger: some of the most discerning thinkers of our time and in all history have come to the same conclusion. But you might have been most like Judas Iscariot at the last.
How immediately the world felt your subtraction. How empty the planet seemed with only you gone. How they wept and wondered at once. But the petrodollar question will be answered only in time: how many will follow your example?
It was your choice, it was your choice, it was your choice and no one could take it from you, least of all me, or anyone with any sense, who, if they were allowed to tell the truth, would confess that, at some point, they looked at the thing themselves (even if, through luck or love or labour, they sidestepped it, somehow). No one with any brain or a bit of heart would judge you.
