If I am to sum up the whole problem of this age in a single word,
that word would be ABSENCE.
Absence of a presence – as someone very well put it.
Absence is the suspension of any conceivable Value,
as Value resides in Presence.
Crassly speaking, Nothing Real is being created today,
as Presence is simply a word in the dictionary;
we have no idea any longer what it entails.
Wherever you go,
you sense this corrosive state of non-existence with all its derivatives:
Boredom, lethargy, cynicism, greed, theft, moral shortage,
dissimulation, sloth, futility and loneliness.
