So she came into being in a world that she described as a false utopia.

People's lives have no value. One can be easily eliminated and replaced. Any unique characteristics (physical, mental, spiritual, etc.) of a person can be obtained through manipulations of the advanced technology. The meaning of life is irrelevant to the "utopia". People live, die, face injustice, be forced to make sacrifice against their will. The bully will be bullied by the bigger bullied and the biggest bullied is easily replaceable. Humans' joy and suffering are irrelevant to the utopia. Every one is a cogwheel that runs the utopia, and, therefore, are expendable and insignificant. There will always be replacement for every position within the utopia from the weapons' test subjects to the highest person in charge of everything, from the machines that counsel the decision-making people to the law makers to the enforcers to the very rules that are frequently changed to fit the political landscape and period. Humans, machines, laws, ideologies, nothing is relevant and irrelevant. The utopia is run by the system The system is not a set of machine, not a trend of thinking, not a person or a group of people, not even the rules. The system is an intangible, hardly distinguishable compilation of everything. However, the utopia and the system are not more important than the people because system and utopia is run for the people as in the collective interest. However, the collective suffer through the running of the utopia.

People spend their time and effort in worthless things to forget the reality. A bullied kid tortures defenseless animals or sacrificed his health in a late-night game to alleviate the sense of injustice. Delinquents came to become one because violence, rule breaking, crimes, and other vices bring them catharsis. They felt empowered, felt free so not having to bow down to rules, moralities, or society. The religious ones, the cultists, the fanatics turned to religions because of their promise of better future, of a heaven after death, or an eternal rest, or a salvation to suffering. Men and women slaved themselves out to the companies to spend their money on gacha games, microtransactions, porns, drugs to relieve stress. Managers forced lower-level staff to prostrate to the unrealistic demands and abuses because those things were forced on them by those sitting on higher tables. Those on higher tables were also forced on by those higher than them. Those on highest seats have to negotiate with those within the same room and no one is truly free because they could be turnt on. The loftiness of their power is temporary too because they could be dragged down by a rebellion or backstabbed by someone else. Those rebels enacted their "justice" because they felt wrong and that things should change for the better. However, this is called a false utopia because the cycle will repeat with everything will return to its places as time passed from the political corruption, to the laws, to the ideology, the religions, to the abuses. Law makers and politicians might rise concern about the state of inhumanity but the laws that would be proposed were just slightly adjusted ones that were not enough to break away from the pattern. There would be criticision to every point of the new laws because they were imperfect as was everything. Even if the laws would be passed, it would inevitably fail at one point in time. The patriots, and pioneers, the revolutionists and the justice fighters would just one day be the new oppressors and tyrants under a new perspective. The changes were just part of the pattern in eternal fluctuation. The utopia would change its color from time to time but will also repeat because they are bankrupted. They are not economically bankrupted but politically and ideologically bankrupted. Every change is part of the utopia because the utopia is the ideal state.

If she just does whatever she wants, then what is the different between her and those delinquents or rebels? If she played along, she would break or snap one day from being overly abused. If she just turned a blind eye to the revelation, then she would just return to who she was before she comprehended the utopia and its system. Should she just focus on the positiveness? Then what was the difference between that and ignoring the revelation? Should she just agree that every decision she makes would be akin to casting the dices and every positiveness was just momentarily as was every negativeness was eternal? Whatever decision or path she would take would lead her to the utopia as she had always been in the utopia. The revelation didn't signal a new beginning of creaking away from her "utopia", it was just a confirmation that she was powerless to escape it. Just as when one passed a blackhole's event horizon where every path around them leads to the singularity. Every decision she would make would lead her back to where she started. She could not even try to kill herself because there is no guarantee of a final rest. Dying may just be a part of the cycle of reincarnation. She may just one day be rebirthed into the utopia again. While the entire world was in motion, she was in hesitation. She could not choose the correct course of action because correct and incorrect action may not even exist. Ignoring the issue or attempting to solve the issue would have the same outcome and she would live in the utopia that she hates but would never be able to leave.

And so she hoped that someone would prove that her revelation was a lie so that she could live on without worrying. That was until someone told her that wouldn't that the same as"choosing a comfort lie over the ultimate truth"?
