What A Mess
Headed for Heaven;
Doubt is good
Disbelief is better
Association with the huge climb is worse
So leave it alone and like yourself
Now disbelief come to mind
Again,, or for the first timee

AI Interpretation
What A Mess weighs doubt against disbelief and pushes back against the huge climb, finally landing on a rough command to leave the enormity alone and endure the return of disbelief.
The page is skeptical in a productive way. Instead of treating certainty as salvation, it makes room for disbelief as a tool of self-preservation.
What A Mess. Headed for Heaven, doubt is good, disbelief better, association with the huge climb worse. Disbelief comes to mind again, or for the first time — a sidelong refusal of the whole ascent metaphor.
