ersatz life
I find modern relationships disappointing. I find the modern subject (people) only gives a 1 or at best 2 dimensional view of life. There is no nuts and bolts. There is no blood and gore.
The modern life is an ever more connected life but ever more disconnected. People hide behind screens. Trying to establish a friendship is an uphill battle. Trying to establish a friendship with roots is an imposibiility. This is the cause of much bitterness.
Modern life is a matrix of e-messaging, phone calls, apps and devices. People get lost in such traps. The world is hyper-speeded up. The context is a media which is beyond Orwellian. Human feeling withers in such aseptic radioactive light.
I feel like friendship has disappeared down the drain. All I have is a few fragments of friendship.
Also the widespread use of psychoactive drugs kills feeling. Friendship is a mood to be smoothed out.
