We Aren't Built for a Flat, Grey Existence

Modern society pushes us towards a passive, grey existence, disconnected from our capabilities and desires, but the possibility of regaining control is always present.

The feeling of emptiness has settled into many lives, a kind of collective lethargy that distances us from fulfillment. We remember how years ago, the idea of neural connection from the movie **Avatar** generated wonder, imagining immersive experiences. Today, faced with the real possibility of living fully, we settle for passivity. It's as if watching a Western movie instead of riding a horse leaves us indifferent, despite having the capacity to do so.

## The Apathy Diet

The quality of what we consume, both in food and experiences, seems to have diminished. We talk about unripe fruits or frozen fish, but the situation worsens with diets based on boiled pasta and canned tomatoes. This dietary decline reflects a deeper disconnection, a lack of appetite for life itself.

## Collective Depression or Lack of Ambition?

We face a dilemma: is it a widespread social depression that paralyzes us, or have we lost the capacity for self-improvement? Buying a home has become a pipe dream for many, but apathy extends beyond economics. Few dare to leave the cities, seek a life in the countryside, start personal projects, or explore alternative ways of living. Most settle for the average, like a flock, without daring to take the reins.

## The True Abyss: Regret

The real danger lies not in current antiestéticars or remorse, but in the abyss that will open at the end of our days. The regret for not having lived courageously, for having been mere spectators in a society designed for others, for having let opportunities slip away time and again. It is the silent fading of one who did not dare to truly live.
