I remember reading this story in my high school English class… about a man who enters a cave and upon coming out, he could no longer relate to the other people as they have not seen what he has seen. Detached from others’ reality but at the same time, understanding everything, people could not comprehend him nor can he try to make others understand. This is exactly the way I feel now. Every day is a struggle with mixing normalcy and my thinking. Hearing all these problems that people have, everybody is just going around in circles. Nothing is truly genuine anymore. Every act, every idea can be justified by our play of words and by manipulating people. Everything and everyone contradicts one another yet people just turn a blind eye forward. Everything is ruled by convenience. Convenience in the present. They put all their hopes, blames, problems into an entity, whatever that may be, that does not even truly exist. People have lost touch with themselves, lost faith in their strength, lost faith in all that is. Who are we to say what is good and bad? What is right or wrong? What is moral and immoral? We’re all in here just playing a game. A game of brainwashing, a game of manipulation.
