I was wondering why I’m able to read about war and oppression in other countries, and even the crap that goes on in my own country, without feeling angry. I just feel apathetic. And I was thinking about how I hate to feel different, to stand out, and how I care what people think of me. And then I realise how the two are inter-connected.
Society has cultivated in us these fears of splitting away from the crowd, from mass society, because if we do we start to think about things, to get angry, to stop blindly accepting everything.
