We live in times when we don’t have time to do anything, including to feel. We do not give ourselves the luxury of suffer. We make ourselves perfect, without any mistakes: a fortress. In these days to suffer is a sign of weakness. We buy the idea that we need to banish it from our lives, like if it was possible to “eliminate” a feeling.

Society doesn’t want feelings, in fact they abominate the ones who feel. “Don’t feel, otherwise you won’t fit”, society screams, because it’s afraid of the ones who feel to much and shows it moving them away deeply.

A majority of cowards with no edge to assume their feelings and fight for them was set up. No one wants to get hurt and that’s why they tense their feelings putting them in boxes, selecting just what they wanna feel... As if they were “selectable”.

It’s much more important the views, comments and messages on Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp than the pleading eyes of the ones who beg for affection. Nobody wants to get out of the narcissistic world of social media to engage profoundly with someone. Doing that is to make room for suffering: “Maybe it won’t work out” or “Is she (or he) the right person?” or “Why live in the insecurity of the unknown?”. “Of course, social media gives us so much possibilities of new lovers.... Why stay in just one place and battle for someone?”

Everyone does want a calm life. There are few of the braves.
