My Twisted Observation of Society
There could be some truth to it.
The majority of people running around the world hate themselves, and have no clue they do. They are so “unaware” while trapped in whatever distraction society, trauma, or family conditioning got them hooked on, that their torment “escapes” them. At least at the level they are capable of comprehending in that moment.
Maybe it’s just me?
Maybe I just view things from a little darker cloud than most, but I see it every day in people I meet. Very few people could spend a month alone. The silence would fucking kill them. Everyone wants alone time, but no one will take the plunge to do it. So they surround themselves with whoever and whatever helps them avoid themselves.
Social media has made it so easy to replace the person you said you love, with another person you can love tomorrow. Love doesn’t work that way, but escapes do. We are so quick to criticize, and judge someone else’s life while throwing a sheet over our own. It’s just easier that way.
Ever since I’ve started writing here I’m learning so much about myself that I ignored. And the truth is, I can’t handle it. It’s easier living a life with blinders on, while watching the problems all around me. While focusing on them, and avoiding my own.
