"Evil is unspectacular and always human
And shares our bed and eats at our own table"
-W.H. Auden
today i read a book that made so much sense that i got scared. it said that our brains, whether we like it or not, confuses us to no avail. the decisions that we make daily are ones based on the emotions that we have in an instant, the very same irrational emotions that we've always had. what kind of people are we when we make decisions based on irrational emotions. when we do that, we are no longer people. we become bodies that act as if everything we do and think is right. with our feelings telling us how to be, we will eventually forget who we really are, who we were to begin with. the you minus your first and last name, minus your job, minus everything thats ever been assigned to you. what happens to her? she's still alive and you have to find her and up until today, i could feel her gasping for air.
