Thoughts in Progress

Capitalism thrives on human suffering. In this system, all individuals, each with their own story, their own needs, and their own humanity, are forced into a kind of brutal proximity, jostling against each other, like bodies pressed into a narrow space, each person trying to breathe, trying to stretch out, only to discover there's no room. The competition for survival makes people clash and scrape against one another, with their desperation bleeding into conflict. Each person is made to see the other as an obstacle, an opponent to be outdone in a race that no one was prepared for, no one asked for, but everyone has to run.
