....because we're cowards....

Imma be just leave you with this on a fine Monday morning.
Yet to hear something truer in this lifetime.


"Is it that we collectively thought Steve Jobs was a great man, even when we knew he made billions off the backs of children? Or maybe it's that it feels like all our heroes are counterfeit?
The world itself just one big hoax, spamming each other with our burning commentary bullshit, masquerading this insight; our social media faking this intimacy. Or is it that we voted for this? Not with our rigged elections, but with our things, our property, our money.
I'm not saying anything new, we all know why we do this, not because Hunger Games books makes us happy, but because we want to be sedated.
Because it's painful not to pretend, because we're cowards.
Fuck society."

  3. I just heard about Mr. Robot last night. My husband had been DVRing it because he wanted to watch it. Second mention in two days makes me think the universe is trying to tell me to give it a chance?
