The crowd, so many opportunities, so much information, so much pain and frustration, tired of looking for something. War? War is war. Rattling, nothingness. Little value and meaning. Emptiness, hard to endure and to sit with yourself, unable not to do and not having to do. I am tired! How to reconcile and continue? And what about all these videos everywhere, all these scenes, all these stories, where do I stand among all this. The more you watch, the more lonely you will be. This momentum, and the anger… in reality? Or just inside me? Do not reconcile or watch.
