The whole world is designed to shatter you, slowly, into a million little pieces and remake you in its image. I can feel it succeeding every day. Every institution and inequity, every constraint and brutality, calibrated to rob us of any sense of trust or refuge. The emptiness I feel when I look at other people, the mental arithmetic I’m forced to do just to navigate the endless maze that we run like rats. (The whole world is designed to shatter you, slowly, into a million little pieces and remake you in its image). Like a blighted devil whispering in your ear “break, break, it’s the only way. Break, break, it’s the only way." You’ll be assimilated and disposed of. There’s no middle ground. No way out. We just break.
