Not spoilt, just normal

Condition is something that is quite not a match with love.

Because love is empathy, condition is rationality.

Love is freedom, condition is constraint. How can this in any universe be one?

Unfortunately, it is not. People yet find a way to nullify this cruelty on the namesake of

societal norms, just like the countless other deeds. The saying goes, cold water feels warm

when your hands are freezing. So I keep digging and digging on the shore, the ocean

washing up my hard work but I don't give up. I dig deeper and deeper, and when I reach the

end, my heart soaring and leaping to my throat. I see blood, it mixes with the ocean and got

its stung, to see all my labour go in vein.
