"Hymn to Lightness." - Marco M.

Hymn to Lightness

Lightness is undoubtedly one of the many qualities lost in our time, which I call "posthuman". They are all serious, sullen, unable to express themselves with irony or to know how to grasp it. If you smile and express a sense of lightness with your being, you are looked upon by the "undead" with suspicion. 

Deep down they are envious because life abandoned them during adolescence although they will never admit it because they are totally unaware. The undead want you to be "contrite", in a constant state of repentance because you pollute, because you are guilty of social injustices, because you are not indignant enough about the massacres in the world. Catholic bigotry has been replaced by woke bigotry, the "inclusive" one. Every word you say doesn't have to be offensive to "so and so" and be respectful and inclusive to "so and so". So everyone has flattened out and knelt to the "Nothingness", they speak without a hint of irony using an exaggerated amount of words that becomes a buzz to then express the absolute nothingness.

I invite survivors to cultivate a sense of lightness that has nothing to do with superficiality. I invite them not to be indignant, to be irreverent, to use colorful and politically incorrect language, to take into consideration only those who know how to smile and speak with irony, who speak little but that little is qualitatively relevant instead of talking a lot without saying anything, to feed the world with all these qualities that have become revolutionary.

The risk is certainly that of becoming isolated "from others" but in the end, I would consider becoming isolated from zombies with a certain pride, but without any doubt, the world of those who cultivate lightness is certainly a better world.
