Why ME? Why HIM?
Stability covers our aspirations with a scoop net, reducing the final results to a monetary equivalent. The plastic bank card with its blunt edges divides us into equal lonely parts, deprived of unity in one body and personality. A fast and wireless connection sterilizes our time, casting individuality into the slag, cooling feelings down to the feeling of hunger. The myth about freedom valued at one million dollars in a concrete box in a megalopolis reduces one’s will down to social significance. Youth, aging in second-class sleeping carriages of the office, is tiring of beating its head against glass partitions and lies on a smooth keyboard with a resigned beach body and, without sun cream, partakes of the rays of the LCD monitor, having thoroughly covered its own style with the sand of business papers. The desire to be competitive will knot the tie of the trade mark around the neck, will conserve the fear of oneself in the tin cans of a corporation, of produced goods, making the legs heavier, and the remains of a worldview are frothing in the throat with the questions “Why ME? Why HIM?”
