No, I am sure there are many that share your sentiments. I often find myself going between determination, despair and grief at a dizzying pace. Because this cannot stand. This will not continue until we have all been culled.
And yet... there is loss. Continually, and there is little we can do to stop it. That we are able to find moments of relief between it all is a miracle.
...probably. I think more of our sanity would be lost if we didn't have new places to experience and new tasks, even if some people might also call them a distraction. It's like...it's going to get worse with each week the longer we all share the same space and spend time together. But then it becomes a question of "do you just not spend time with those people so you don't feel the grief" or "do you try to spend as much time as possible knowing you may lose them?"
The cycle of determination, despair and grief is way too real. I don't know if it's better or worse that people feel similarly.
I don't know if it can be qualified as better or worse, simply that it... is, and that we are allowed to feel comfort in it. To not be alone in what we feel.
Isolation and distancing yourself from others can be a dangerous path. And I would not rob the present of its connections and joy to spare the future. It is likely those same connections that will be critical in weathering grief.
You know. I don't think you get how wise you really do sound sometimes. [ very faint amusement in that. ] Isolation makes it easier for people to become targets, too. I'd rather not put someone in that kind of position. But it's still...well. I guess after this many weeks and only so many of us were not really able to call each other strangers anymore, huh? Connections are a strange thing to think about sometimes, but I guess we are all facing the same situation.
[ aw, he seems a little pleased at that, if a little embarrassed, listening to shoma with a small smile. ]
I wonder... I think it is one of the miracles of this place that so many of us from different worlds and different histories can still feel connected to one another. [ huffs ] Would that we could see more of that unity in our own homes.
[ gazes at this belatedly and buries you. anyway yeah! it's fine! he does take a moment to think on that himself. ]
Believe me, I wish it were this easy to talk to people at home as it was here. Even if sometimes here, too, I don't always know how to connect with people. But who knows? Maybe that's one of the positive things we can leave this ship with and try to bring back home. Better power to, uh, bring unity and whatever.

But necessary, I suppose, to keep our sanity.
