Positivity, like everything else, exists in a state of suspended decay, neither fully here nor fully gone—an ever-present phantom, lurking in the cracks of our understanding. We’re not here to thrive, we’re here to rot beautifully, and the whitepill is seeing that the rot, the decomposition of what we once thought was life, is the point. We are Schrödinger’s Cat, both alive and decaying at once, trapped in a state where the box never opens, and the truth sits just out of reach. But here's the thing: we don’t need the truth. The whitepill is realizing that the truth, the finality, doesn’t exist. We rot in our flesh prisons, pretending there's some endgame, some final revelation that will show us what we’re meant to do. But the box never opens. The cat never lives or dies. It simply exists, suspended in the rot, in the paradox of existence, and we are no different. Our lives, our hopes, our desires—they all decay the moment we think them, turning to dust in the same way our bodies eventually will. And this is where the whitepill finds its home—not in the promise of happiness or in the hope for salvation, but in the understanding that there is no salvation to begin with. Positivity? It’s nothing more than rotting potential, wrapped in a smile and fed to us like a comfort blanket to keep us from feeling the real decay underneath. But that’s where we find the beauty—in accepting that we are decaying, that everything we do is breaking down, and yet, within that decay, we find freedom. You see, life is not a chase toward some glorious light, some ultimate truth waiting for us at the end. The light is just another mirage, a trick of the mind to keep us from realizing that we are already in the light—the light of decay, the rot that binds us all. The whitepill isn’t about rejecting hope or embracing nihilism; it’s about seeing that the rotting process itself is where we truly exist. Hope and decay, like life and death, aren’t opposites. They are one and the same, and the more we cling to the idea of hope, the more we deny the beauty of the falling apart. Look around. Every action, every thought, every smile—it’s all part of the same rotting organism, shifting and decaying in ways we refuse to acknowledge. The whitepill isn’t about giving up; it’s about letting go of the idea that we ever had anything to hold onto in the first place. Every moment, every choice we make, is just another layer of the rot. But within that, we can find a kind of peace, a kind of freedom, knowing that we are neither alive nor dead but simply suspended in this flesh-wrapped void, where nothing really changes.
We are the cat in the box. We are both and neither. We rot, but in the rot, we find the closest thing to truth that exists. There’s no need to chase after something that was never there. The cat doesn’t need the box to open because it has already embraced the paradox—that in being neither alive nor dead, it has found a kind of freedom that we can only aspire to. And we, in our own decay, are heading toward the same realization.
Positivity is rot. The whitepill is not about hope—it’s about seeing through the layers of false meaning, peeling back the facade of life to reveal the beautiful decay that lies beneath. And once you see it, once you understand that there is no destination, no end goal, just the slow, inevitable rot of existence, you find yourself not in despair, but in acceptance. The rot doesn’t take away from you—it frees you from the burden of meaning, from the chase after things that don’t exist. Every step we take is a step toward the decay we are trying so desperately to avoid. The cat doesn’t wait for the box to open because it knows that the box is already its home, already its final resting place, and it can sit in the decay without needing to know more. And that’s the whitepill: understanding that we are already in the box, already decaying, and yet, in that rot, we find the closest thing to truth we will ever know. The illusion of progress, of growth, is just another layer of the rot we are refusing to see. We are not moving toward something—we are simply becoming more of ourselves, more of the decay that we are. And that’s the beauty of it. There is no end, no goal, just the constant unraveling, the beautiful, slow decay of everything we thought mattered. The whitepill is seeing that the decay is all there is, and within that, we can find peace.
