why do we always want to make the shit stop?

 

We are consumed with terror, this culture. Consumed with fear of sitting with the uncomfortable. So we plug in, drink up, smoke down to numb the dull moments, the awkward nuances or bored rumbles. And we condition our brain to be so overstimulated all of the time that it seems perturbing to not have at least one (or five) senses stimulated at all times. Be it your headphones, fuzzy gloves, judging eyes, snacks and snacks. No wonder we are so off balance, we are so OFF from the natural experience of human existence. We have filled it with technology and EXCESS.
