Of course, we can walk alongside each other, bound to each other's company because it ain't 8.30pm yet. We don't have to like each other, we only have to pretend we do.
---------------
Maybe, to be free, we have to stop believing there's some higher being up there who's got some micro-managed 'plan' for us. 'He' guides us, we follow. We do 'his' will, 'he' rewards us. We don't, 'he' punishes us. Maybe, let's just take a leap of faith (har, har) and just for one moment imagine that we are our highest authority, moral or otherwise. That we have total and complete agency over our lives.
I'm throwing the gauntlet as much to myself as to anyone else. Not to blaspheme or disrespect anyone (you have every right to believe whatever you want to), but just, I don't know: push the envelope a little. Let this lifetime be our heaven. It's a disgusting, broken world, for sure. But all we have is all of us, and each other.
