everyone was so into into everyone,
but the apathy towards each other outside the screen said otherwise

so i guess everyone was so into seeing everyone fall?
yes, that's it.
everyone wanted to see that the rest of the population had faults,
sometimes worse than their own, so they can be convinced that there is someone out there as bad as themselves

some simply yearned to get a taste of what those peoples lives were,
what secrets they held,
what things they've done

and here i too was pleading guilty,
but pride, or strength, or maybe morals
were weighing me down.
i did not need, but i so wanted.
the temptation of the dog-eat-dog world seeped into every one of our veins.
