There you still find life

I hear voices screaming

-You, idiot, they say, you've watched too many cheap movies. Life is not as marvellous as in the television series.

I reply, almost telepathically, that I don't watch television.

-Who'll believe you? Study yourself, you behave like in the advertisements. Do you see those great buildings in the centre of Babylon? There are so many zombies over there. They all radiate happiness, self-satisfaction, and they are thirsty for fresh blood…

Do you want to be one of them?

Their outfit, their Christmas parties, their medication…everything is standardized.

Ask one what time is it. It will make the same gesture as millions of other zombies, one hand in the pocket, the other slightly up, to uncover his hand clock.

Don't you think so?

Their arguments are always strong and act like a schizophrenic crisis, building the discussion into a separate dogma, which they'll never surrender.

Shut up, don't look into their eyes and search for places that disgust them.

There you still find life.
