it's about how much of our lives we spend pretending not to see what's in front of us. it's about comfort zones and the trauma of memory. of being inactive in the present - of a bystander telling the story of his life to feel as if he were a part of something. of as much as we try to find differences between ourselves and others, ultimately we are all the same - the knowledge of that is called "the terrifying ordeal of being human".
