There is No Noise

There is no room for empathy or understanding in a world where our minds are consumed. Everything is instantaneous, from value judgments to emotional responses.

Sadly, there is no space for transparency in a world where the emotive is a currency.

You are nothing more than a vessel through which they sate their desires; you might as well not even exist.
They will wring you dry until there is nothing left inside.
It is all about metrics, the corporate measurement of your material worth.

They make your life a living curse or, worse, bludgeon you until you are concussed.
There is no time for remorse; each is pitted against the other.

In response to their acrid bites, smile and fake your emotions, for you will soon find yourself drowning in toxic oceans.

It is better to lie; otherwise, your inside will die.
It is a free-for-all, a world where the winner takes it all.
In this world, human values are subsumed.
There can only be one winner in a place where the emotive is used to sell.

How can you live a life devoted to satisfying the desires of others, yourself and needs to become a void?
