Written by Jacob Ibrag
‘Cradle your words and put them to
sleep, garnish your thoughts and render them
obsolete.’ You’ll want to give in, to desensitize from
the system. It feels rigged, as if no matter how much you
try, you won’t create a ripple. They’ll offer escape, a path
towards a guilt free conscience. Tempted by the taste
of ignorance laced bliss, you quickly throw up
the lie before it permanently spreads.
To be alive is to be awake.
Very thought provoking, thank you!

So cool. It’s like my heart just understands this, but my mind wanders around in circles playing with it. Which I guess is the whole point?
