One of These Days

What even is anything?

Prompt:
“Bring down the curtain—the farce is over.”
The last words of French philosopher and comic, Francois Rabelais
What do you think of life? Is it really a farce?

My official answer, no. But how life feels currently? Yes. It sometimes feels that way. Politicians breaking laws, Supreme Court allowing laws and protections to be overruled. Nothing seems to happen. How ugly people are to other people. How it almost feels like people love to be lied to, because it just fits in with what they already believe, so why have any critical thoughts? The fact that the cost of everything is obnoxious and for what? It just feels like nothing makes sense. Feels like regular people don't matter. Like constantly being gaslit and companies, corporations stopped trying to prove their worth to you. And they've taken over so much that most people don't even have options. Can't go to a different grocery store or use a different Internet, have to use Amazon because there aren't many local options for things, especially the weirdly specific stuff you'd love to find locally but it's all corporate places that carry things people want all the time, not some-of-the-time.

So while I don't feel like life is a farce. I think life is wonderful and beautiful. Current society as made it feel like one.
