Fatue empatie

(Polarized consciousness in decomposition)

In an age where compassion is part of the past, conscience also sees the other as an enemy: either black or white, be they people, opinions, behaviors, religions. You have to choose which side to stand on, a compromise is not possible, indeed it is the worst you can imagine. In the meanders of consciousness, in the "grey zone of compromise", more and more restricted, as will-o'-the-wisps, the emotions and compassionate thoughts of acceptance of the other still try to emerge, but they shine for a while and fail to to make their way into the soul, submerged by fear and hatred for the different. Black or white, there is no in-between!
