“Peace lies in the absence of the desire and need for peace.”
― Sov8840

“...The spaces they frequent construct atmospheres that mimic melancholy and discontent. Yet even these are culturally branded, bounded sanctuaries—designed to feel outsiderish without ever genuinely stepping outside. They exist to perform alienation, not to live it—to its edges. Because if they did, they would discover that the only true sanctuary is the one for those few who see sanctuary itself as a lie.”

“A simple proof that they are a kind of robot: if the era and civilization they live in worshipped "ugliness," they too would come to worship it. Or if this era and civilization encouraged "laziness," they would begin to curse work automatically. Because they are not alive beings, but unconscious extensions of history.”

“They know, not because they "know," but simply because we have allowed them to see a glimpse.”

“I am everything, because I am nothing. I am everywhere, because I am nowhere.”

“...and they absorb the world shaped by these, "constructing" their thoughts, feelings, words, actions, identity, and beliefs accordingly, which means they will think in the same way, feel the same things, use the same words, do the same actions, have the same identity, and carry the same beliefs as the rest of society.”

“Any judgment born of collective agreement is, by nature, arbitrary, no matter how widely it is accepted.”
― Sov8840

“This is a game of invisibility and visibility: one is both hyper-visible and entirely unseen at the same time.”
― Sov8840

“Every screen seen, every voice heard, every conversation encountered bloats with noise—yet remains ultimately void. When the world speaks endlessly and says nothing, depth resides not in the words but in the silence between them. Existence begins in this negative space, in the gaps where reality leaks through illusion.”

“In a game, there is a main character raised within American culture: he speaks in slang, lives for sex and pleasure, feels "successful" if the opposite sex chases after him, shows off by driving cars and motorcycles, obtains respect if he buys a yacht, worships money and wealth, has numerous tattoos and ornaments, spends his nights in clubs and casinos, feels "powerful" when he holds a gun, makes racist jokes, swears in every sentence, thinks and acts like he is at the center of the universe, and so on. Even if this game is produced in the United States, due to the fact that the whole world has now been made interconnected and interdependent, it easily spreads and influences other unconscious peoples. A child in Jakarta, Stockholm, or Prague begins to use the exact same sayings and do the exact same actions born of Brooklyn streets, Californian frat parties, and Los Angeles gambling centers. The result is that even the culture of a completely different country on the other side of the world ends up becoming American; the narrator in the game becomes the very thing children dream of, teenagers chase after, and adults turn into reality.”

“Modern culture rewards the loud, the fast, and the visible. It mistrusts the silent, the slow, and the mysterious. What cannot be monetized is rendered irrelevant, and what cannot be digitized is deemed nonexistent. And so, truth becomes noise, authenticity becomes brand, and pain becomes content.”
― Sov8840

“I will always be a "nothing," for things and beings with true depth are far from all kinds of rigid labels, hollow terms, ordinary diagnoses, clear definitions, narrow classifications, pontificating explanations, societal categories, and those poisonous human languages that have existed, exist, and will exist.”
― Sov8840

“The ordinary majority cannot transcend their tiny worldly view in terms of thought and behavior due to their very design.”
― Sov8840

“People love walking around with labels attached to them by others or labels they give themselves. They are prisoners of roles they did not choose, punished by systems they did not design, and shaped by forces they cannot name”
― Sov8840

“Imagining someone who will not collapse my complexity into compressed and simplified roles like friend, lover, genius, or ghost... such a being exists only in my dream world.”
― Sov8840

“People are led to believe they possess freedom of expression simply because they are allowed to say whatever they please. At first glance, this indeed seems true: one may share offensive jokes, hurl profanities, circulate crude memes, ridicule religion, express rage outbursts, swear at others, or indulge in bizarre fantasies. Yet all of this unfolds within an invisible cage—a system of rules dressed as liberty. The moment someone speaks of suicide, rape, or other "sensitive" subjects—not to promote them, but simply to confront them—their words are flagged, erased, and their presence diminished. Even the very words “suicide” or “rape” are censored with asterisks. The crime lies not in intent but in utterance. Likewise, should someone express a worldview too deviant from that of mass society, their account may be silenced under vague accusations: “spam,” “harm,” “hate speech,” or “misinformation.”

“Modern culture rewards surface-level uniqueness, such as appearance, career path, or social media presence, but punishes true divergence in worldview, thought, or behavior. What people often refer to as "being different" is usually just someone walking down the exact same path as everyone else, but with their steps slightly bent and curved rather than being direct and usual like others. So, although they appear as "individuals" from the outside, inside, they are actually a herd of the same kind of sheep blindly following each other. This is conformity within “individuality.” And this disguise is the thing that gives the tool for the Westerners to call themselves "freedom fighters.”

“Since they are incapable of exploring other perspectives, they internalize this idea and end up as robots who always think in the same way and tirelessly complain about the exact same things, such as getting depressed over "being ugly," furious over "being unable to fit in," shameful over "not being popular," or even becoming suicidal over not being able to have sex and turning into a killer due to being deprived of the "right to party.”

“The media and the internet exist not to transmit knowledge as it is, but to amplify, exaggerate, and embellish the exact reality. Whatever is displayed upon the screens is rendered greater and more dramatic than its true form to attract mass interest. And if a person’s only “source of knowledge” is their screen, then that person may become stranded in a rigid world of black and white, blinded to the spectrum of grays that lie between.”

“The love of artists or mystics is often "artificial." Because they find beauty in thought alone, intimacy in invention, or ecstasy in silence. They love whom they choose, not whom the outer world permits. For they do not carry the outer world within their inner world; rather, it is their inner world that holds power over the external one. Therefore, they do not love the person presented by the outer world but the one portrayed by their inner world. And that is not the person’s "real" self, but an "imagined" version of them.”

“People love walking around with labels attached to them by others or labels they give themselves. They are prisoners of roles they did not choose, punished by systems they did not design, and shaped by forces they cannot name.”

“Even if the system is obsessed with adulthood, it does not raise "adults"; it rewards permanent adolescence. The intellect is numbed by memes. The imagination is outsourced to social media trends. Political discourse is reduced to hashtags and merchandise. Even rage is prepackaged: click, post, feel righteous, repeat.”

“Pleasure demands constant and repeated stimulation to be felt for a common mind. If it is a book, one must finish one and move on to the next; if it is music, one must listen to one and then start another. This is an endless cycle. And since the pleasure derived from such things is temporary, the only way to obtain it is to develop some form of addiction to them.”

“All of these people are, approximately, repeated copies of a single person. A single entity produced billions of times is occupying every space on Earth.”
― Sov8840

“Not everyone can see the deeper dimensions lying behind things. Because they were not born with that eye. Their eyes were not designed for such usage. It is not the majority but always the minority who possess the ability to “see," perhaps only one person out of a thousand.”

“In existence, there are two kinds of loneliness: one is the loneliness of the person, and the other is the loneliness of the Earth. The former is what society pretends to cure, and the latter is what society refuses to acknowledge.”

“If there is no phone, there is noise; but if there is a phone, there is silence—just as a crying, unruly baby suddenly falls silent upon receiving the mother’s nipple.”
― Sov8840

“Language has been weaponized in modern societies not just to communicate but to control thought. Terms like “success,” “confidence,” “normal,” “mental health,” or “self-improvement” are presented as universally desirable, but these words are saturated with invisible assumptions. When people use these terms, they are not merely communicating ideas but also adhering to a predefined set of beliefs and norms. For example, to say one is “successful” is not simply to express achievement but to buy into the societal belief that success is tied to specific metrics like wealth or social status. To use such language is already to submit to the ideology behind it.”

“When I express what I do, think, or feel in my solitude, I feel like I betray something sacred. I feel like I betray my feelings by exposing them, by putting them into words. Because solitude is being alone, after all; it's not suitable for any kind of external audience, or it turns into a commercial corruption.”
