you are too sensitive.
It's better not to think so much.
Forget it.
Get over it.
Why stir the shit?.
It is what there is.
life is like that.
You take everything too personally.
Those things don't affect me.
I don't think about it.
Things we hear and tell ourselves to survive in a world of emotional disconnection.
Of course the body can't handle all this silence and it starts to hurt.. Soft first, then it doesn't let us sleep well, then turn up the volume…and things are becoming unsustainable.
Alcohol, drugs, sex, shopping, meditation, spirituality…nothing just works to keep that silence inside.
We may quietly seek help outside and find ourselves trapped in a structure that will keep us there., disconnected. A structure that feeds, get rich, of our suffering. A health system that addresses our symptoms, the lion's tail and thus keeps us disconnected from its origin.
But we can't, not all of us can, and that shared silence that leaves us so alone hurts even more than the truth.
