Have you ever once considered those around you? If you had shared your gas rather than engorged yourself and consumed it all so quickly then you could have had a nice long life in harmony with your neighbors. You might have even had a happy planet or two to call your own. But no, you had to binge and now you’re going to blow yourself to pieces and make life miserable for those around you. Sure, other stars will notice you flame out but then they’ll laugh about you behind your back. I do hope you are happy. ---
