What they want

"They want visions? We will give them that. An escape, a distraction, an answer." "What they pay for" "Exactly. We'll make them believe what they already believe. Not a shift, not a blast. Not a slap in the face." "But isn't that what they get? A life changing experience? The curtains of the show unfolded?" "No, the want the show to keep running. They don't even want something different to their expectations. They are not even aware of the show at all. Remember, they are already dreaming. We just add more to the experience. The simple is hard to sell. We need more than that. More meaning, structure, history. More elements attached to their emotions. We use their good attributes in favor of them. You know, at the end, all the answers are in them. But in the meantime, we'll get as much as we can." "Will they ever realize?" "No, impossible. For them to wake up, it will take them so many lifetimes, and that won't be our business anymore. Anyway, why do they have to wake up for? Things are already lost. The jungle is gonna go as well as with the world. And then the Gods will realize it was a huge mistake of them stopping blessing us anymore. They took the medicine from us. Jungle people. They closed the doors to us but kept them open for the invaders. The conquerers. Fools that wouldn't even know what to use the medicine for. Fools that even with the doors open come to our windows to knock nonstop. We are just resting. And doing our best to live from what's left. They have the power, all the power and the knowledge and yet they come to destroy. We'll show them we have power in this hole."
