Elimination Game

"For a long time, I had no doubt that the world was deliberately doing everything to harm me. Less and less of what is necessary and beloved remains in it; more and more becomes superfluous and unbearable. Suddenly, automatically glancing toward the missing chestnut, I experienced something like an epiphany. No, the world is not cruel. On the contrary: to everyone who, for some reason, lived longer, he shows amazing mercy. Year after year and step by step, the world changes - and eventually turns into a place that is not too bad to leave."
