I mean as in Spy x Family. Everyone has a secret they hide from everyone else, even their closest people.

Do you think real life is like that?

    This. Exactly this. But because Christian Capitalism needs us to be individuals, being “nothing” must be characterized as a negative.

    The only fucking reason people experience the emptiness under all the masks as a negative is because they’ve been conditioned to think there’s supposed to be something there.

    Yet the emptiness is the experience of literally everyone who bothers to look. And it is a relief. You’re not anyone, you’re not “supposed” to be one way or another. There’s just an exchange with everything in existence and you can just respond as called in any given situation.
