Strain—Six Sentence Story

For Stan the idea that anything might exist put a strain on what he could philosophically tolerate. Asserting himself he told his students that there wasn’t a single good reason why any of them were here.

Stan wished he could have told his students what he discovered before his life support was removed. He consoled himself with the thought that they would find it more credible if they heard it from someone else.

  7. Youth is often prejudiced against “hearing” the philosophical implications of living a good life, one without presumption there will be more. One without compromise of self. There are always consequences to our actions.
