In a Bamboo Grove, Ryunosuke Akutagawa

Happiness isn’t something you wait around for. It’s something you create yourself.

to me the thing about deification is that something fundamental is lost in the process

people can’t be immortal. so in order to be immortal you can’t be a person anymore. you have to be distilled. stripped of everything. till you come out the other side as an abstract concept.
