Herd Felt

how we’re told affects as much what we are told

Partially true, the quest for vaccine produced the means of extracting emotions as juice. These sympathy drops were widely sought for levelling out sadness with smoothness, lessening feelings ripped by brutality of loss.

But until regulated, they also elevated subtle elements of aggression in those not disposed to destruction. Manufacturers continued with a label and sales monitored to ensure tax revenue.

About then, people began mixing drops; exploring feelings for which they felt no corresponding worldly connection. Forming a conviction of deep agreement while still knowing that you’re lying.

It’s only partially true, as I trust you knew the drops to be media viewed from afar in a world pulled apart by the fake or true. Emotional sovereignty is ours by experience, and not by sway of artifice broadcast.
