For most people, nirvana is achieving an ideal inner peaceful condition. They yearn to bask in the warm sanctity and relaxation of this bright and pleasant place. They long to reach this state of mind where they feel safe and can relish in both joy and enlightenment.

But what about the other people?

Those who look at a bloated corpse and feel an attraction. Those who glance at a maggot-littered crime scene photo with morbid curiosity. What about the ones who find old bones aesthetically pleasing and clamor with excitement when they hear the latest 'if it bleeds, it leads' headline?

To those of us with a different perception of this gray world we're trapped inside of, humanity's grimmest nightmare is our nirvana.
