Individualism

by jesse-ramon-claudio

The real subjectivity of life is overwhelming; Prospective consumes our frontal cortex But there is no escape from this vacuum seal. We see the faces of our own delight, The know how of the here and now, But we are too blind to look past our own perspectives. Even when we fathom the hearts of others, Our understandings are predisposed  to our own Identity. Objectivity is a fleeting notion of reality, of truth and its as though the ground we hold so dearly Is constantly fleeing from our grasp. Today we call this individualism, a disconnect between one's self and society. But I so selfishly and foolishly believe that this chasm stems from being lied to so often. Am I lying to myself or am I being lied to I do no know, but it is important to understand that it does not matter that nothing matters, because everything exists in my field of view. The only question remains: am I correct Or has the devil made me a fool? But  this does not confirm nihilism only hints at its initial potential. Yet there are common truths that are irrefutable no matter who you are, real or not: The reality is the here and now, No matter what ghosts or demons there may be. They affect the consciousness constantly indifferently to whether or not they are fraudulent or true. And my experiences are true, the emotions are radical, and even if everyone I know is a figment and interpretation, they still hold a grasp onto my withering heart.
