When you see the desperation of mankind and how it changes one’s perspective of life. We all have seen it, rarely do we recognize it. You’ll first notice the truly animalistic nature of the human brain at its most emaciated for attention or nourishment of any kind. Ive lived through it. Ive been there, it changed me more than anything else. We all can make it through our worst, most demonic senses of entitlement for the most basic of life’s necessities. Yet the part that I find the most fascinating is the people who have it all and become something far from human and far from animalistic, they become monsters. This monster that rival are darkest fears and turn us into the anxious shattered imagines of ourselves. The will some will go for more than simplicity of staying alive, the will some will go for the luxuries of attention with their monstrous intent. An intent so strange to me, as all I every wanted was simplicity and happiness
