Lesser of the Two

nothing sums up a quitter like s/he who invests themselves in “the lesser of two evils,” bathing themselves in supposed pragmatism, walking with an illusion of certainty that when faced with two choices, rather than demand a third, or demand to have a different system of choosing altogether, or even more, to throw up the whole puzzle in the air to watch it come crashing down into blissfully destructive & completely deserved chaos, it is more “appropriate” to cave, queue up & follow in line, one step in front of the other off the conveyor belt & into the meat grinder, in hopes that the safe little world of comfort in which one dwells will not be upset.
