“If the perception of reality involves unpleasure, that perception – i.e., the truth – must be sacrificed". S. Freud
silence, this empty space
sight is stumbling on every object emptied of itself
I tend to forget all the nights turning to dust
all the words turning to rust
we can hardly bear the intensity of paradoxes
I can see the world better through walls of tears
silence, this fullness of time when
the unreal seems so real, like the song of stones
I take back, I own the vision of my skin
grief is an explosive substance
the destruction of words follows
the destruction of mind really
who wants to see "the future of an illusion"?
we are so vulnerable so flawed when it comes
to creating reality, we want to forget all pain
we want to not know
the innocence of apples and oblivion we carry
in our dreams
"disavowal, turning a blind eye to painful truths, is at the heart of repetition, and the inability to learn from experience."
“The grave danger to the future of man is largely due to his incapacity to recognize the fictitious character of his ‘common sense" Erich Fromm
