EssenceThey feel being seduced in something that seemed beautiful and like paradise, but turned out to be fake, a false image. The world feels like unreal, a plastic reality. The first impression cannot be trusted, but they fall easily into the trap, are easily drawn in. Then there is no way out, nothing that can be done so they end up in lethargy, keeping things at a distance. It feels hopeless, flat, numb, unreal. The image is fantastic, with young couples, lots of money and possessions. But it is empty and behind it is the dirt. The desire for peace, love and prosperity is represented by the paradise as promised on holidays with palm trees on beaches. It turns out to be a brave new world where people are betrayed by television and newspapers.
