Thank you for being fearless. You help keep me from numbness. We can all be stunned and stumbling. The truth is the hard slap needed to shock me out of my hypocrisy and moral narcosis. I don’t like it. It’s like detox. The comfort of indifference is like heroin addiction. Tolerance levels increase driven to the next fix seeking greater ease and comfort. It’s always elusive and leaves me ultimately hollowed out. Pain is the touchstone of all true psychic change. Like a blister on the brain.
