About This Quote
A mushroom is a fungus that lives on the forest floor and produces no visible fruit or flowers. You can’t see them, but they influence the growth of other plants in the forest by absorbing nutrients from the soil. My sister has mistaken me for a mushroom because she keeps me in the dark and feeds me shit. This kind of treatment is like that of a mushroom.
It absorbs nutrients from the environment, but purports to do it with meaning and purpose. However, it does so without meaning or purpose. Without meaning, there is no goal to strive for, and without purpose there is no reason to persist.
