Looking Through
Looking Through
I am within a sea of people. No one is looking at me.
And I am not looking at anyone. Or at least that is what I would have done if I have not looked up and around and performed this exercise.
I have observed – in large crowds or even in intimate spaces, people do not look each other in the eye anymore. It seems that everyone is absorbed in their own realities, in their own present and everyone else dissolves or is absorbed by the void. Oblivious to everything. Are people just not interested anymore? Are they too scared to share a moment, however fleeting, that they let themselves be wholly and completely consumed by their thoughts, or going to what they perceive is their goal (although at times, really trivial)?
