Everyday we see them, everyday we smile faintly and do nothing. We try to ignore their imperfections and impurity and look away. we ignore them, keep looking somewhere else so that they don't catch our eye, approach us and ask us for their help, ask us for alms. we see them and we do nothing. because we are them. all around us we live in a perpetual machine, cognitive to nothing. a stylized faction of grotesquerie and grime, but happy in our delusion that everything is alright, we carry on. we are not aware of what is going on around us, we are not unhappy with our own mindscrubbibng that we enforce ourselves to. we absorb the photoshop world we live in, smile and be merry, and accept that we are the same. we don't want to change, we don't want to appear different cuz we are scared, abused and mislead. we are all told we are special, but we are not. we disbelive this statement cuz the advert told us so...

I agree with you there, we are all locked inside our own little worlds, and always will be. The only challenge is to make sure that the little worlds keep expanding, knowing that relative to the enormity of existence, we will always remain an insignificant speck.
