We experience virtual relationships with the expectation of receiving yet another notification of affection.
We live with a feeling of security in front of a screen where we see all the possibilities.
It's all illusory, but it doesn't matter, it works.
Another like, another heart! From who ? Someone called “Dany_S_99”.
And when that attention runs out it's resolved quickly, it's just for one more photo, one of the 50 I took at lunch now, just for one or two that are worth it, I'll just look for it....
But the thirst for emotions never ends... because we drink water from a glass full of nothing.
Leaving home is less exciting than traveling through the infinite world of feeds, I mean... it's not, but it feels like it, and it doesn't even take work, and I still receive the wonderful notifications and see everything everyone does.
And when we finally left the cocoon, the dazzle of a real, living world, full of color, sounds, smells, people of flesh and blood, with sad or happy faces, but right there in front of me.
I say anything and someone reacts with a laugh that completes me, and I receive a notification in the form of a hug!
Everything is so good, that we even took photos, to remember a real moment outside the cocoon.
