FAKE WORLD by Whimsical Fine Arts https://whimsicalfinearts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/38-FAKE-WORLD.jpg

Here is the recipe of the 21st century

to be sane in a world full of pain

post a lot on a virtual reality world named internet

go out a lot

post a lot

post about going out a lot

gather friends

post a lot

post about having friends a lot

worship botched-up, narcissistic celebrities

the ones others are also worshipping

be crazy and die yourself for them

for being crazy is getting more tolerated

play the game everybody is playing

and be as indistinguishable as possible

be like everybody else, be boring, who cares?

that’s the only way you’d make money

be approachable, fun, but also robotic

put a happy grin and a bunch of mantras on your face

be as fake as possible, they love it

immerse yourself in shallow materials and shallow people

and be as dumb as you can

Most importantly: be a narcissist

think about yourself a lot

think that the world revolves around you

think that you are always on the right side

eat the bullshit

eat every bullshit

brag about eating bullshit

they love it.
