what about dignity?
you will die, and when you die, you will know a profound lack of it. it's never dignified, always brutal. what's dignified about dying? it's never dignified. and in obscurity? offensive. dignity is an affectation, cute but eccentric, like learning french or collecting scarves. and it's fleeting and incredibly mercurial. and subjective. so fuck it.
