Why won't it end?

How do you prove that you exist? Maybe we don't exist..

I don't know who said that, I think I read it somewhere, but it makes you think. Doesn't it? At least it makes me think.

Not that it matters

The world goes on. Absorbed in it's own 'existence', each person more selfish than the next. Ironic that when someone so devoted and selfless enters the world that fate should seal them in it's fearsome grasp and take them to a place that can never be reached.

I speak of cause of Aeris Gainsborough, but Sephiroth fits this description as well.

A great man, so pure and innocent trapped within the deep caverns of his mind. Trapped within the borders of his own insanity. Yet I am not supposed to care for these things, or to dwell on thoughts of them.

I'm just supposed to care for the company and the gil it brings in. But I don't.

I couldn't care less for the company, or the gil. Not like the workers under me, just caring for the amount of gil that enters their pockets each week. So selfish, I'm not like them. My father paid them too much. Maybe I should cut the wages again, just to show them I can. I don't care. I didn't think it was possible to have so much and feel so empty. Maybe I am selfish. But not like them.

In fact I can think of only four people in the entire Shin-Ra organisation's history (at least what I have known of it) that cared for people other than themselves. Rude, Reno, Elena and Tseng.

The Turks. They care for each other, look out for each other, cry for each other. Admirable? No, they hide their true emotions too well, they could share so much more. Reno, drowns his fears and sorrow in drinks, Rude, quiet, too quiet, he's hiding something, Elena, she says anything to get away from her true thoughts and Tseng, he was too cold, but he was the bond that bound them together, without him they are weak. They all cried when they found out, I cried too. They should have shown more emotion towards him, they all loved him, I think. They should show more emotion. What are they afraid of?

Their pasts haunt them.

Though that's no excuse. I have had one hellish struggle for a past and I still show my emotions. At least, most of them though I don't think it's accepted at Shin-Ra to break down and cry in the middle of a conference, or erupt in a frenzied rage, both of which I have felt like doing on numerous occasions. I'm crying now.

I am selfish. My tears are tainted with self-pity. I don't understand. I suffer.

Why won't it end?
