Who Watches the WATCHMEN? VIII

Rorschach


Rorschach's Journal:
"Looked at sky through smoke heavy with human fat and God was not
there. The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever and we are alone. Live
our lives, lacking anything better to do; Devise reason later. Born from
Oblivion, bear children, hell-bound as ourselves, go into Oblivion. There is
nothing else.

Existence is random; has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at
it too long; no meaning save what we choose to impose.

This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not
God who kills the children. Not Fate that butchers them or Destiny that
feeds them to the dogs. It's us. Only us."
~Alan Moore, the Watchmen~

Rorschach: "You see, Doctor, God didn't kill that little girl. Fate didn't
butcher her and destiny didn't feed her to those dogs. If God saw what
any of us did that night he didn't seem to mind. From then on I knew...
God doesn't make the world this way. We do."
