doubt

When did we confuse the path for the destination?

When did we confuse the story for the meaning?

When did we forget to look beyond the curtain?

When did we trade exploration for certainty?


It was supposed to bring progress,

to help break the imbalance of power;

turns out,

it's leaving us powerless.


You follow the playbook:

study this,

work there,

study again,

optimize your LinkedIn,

level up — what for?


For a society that worships individuality,

we seem to confuse the noun for the subject.


Perhaps it's better to see it as a training,

until the time you have money to fork

your own path —

are fifteen years really needed for that?


How much potential is wasted in this nine-to-five story?

The individual is left prisoner of a new coy taking its place

and there's no one to tell you the spoilers.

No one to nudge you to look back at where you were at fifteen,

no one to remind you the meaning of adolescence

is to find a first canvas of yourself

before it is washed away,

no one does anything cause they don't know —

at least those in the same bubble as you.

The End

Meet the author

Sergio Luna I am passionate about art (music, painting, literature), technology, and learning in general. I explore how technology has re-shaped our shared understanding of reality and our sense of identity. I challenge the meaning of words and objects in the post-modern [digital] world, including our relationship with the invisible structures of politics, economics, and capital. I voice a cynical view about the present and future of technology as an enabler of finding purpose and fulfillment in life.
