Alienation
In general, we live in a state of alienation. We live in a world where we believe presentation is everything. It’s the superficial connections that give you control, lead to “success.” Is confidence enough to function in society? To thrive?
We live behind a line, behind glass. What would it be like if people looked carefully at each other?
“There is no religion in which everyday life is not considered a prison; there is no philosophy or ideology that does not think that we live in alienation.” Eugene Ionesco
“In the 19th century inhumanity meant cruelty; in the 20th century it means schizoid self-alienation.” Erich Fromm
