We are drowning in books and TV shows, yet we can only read one book and watch one show at a time. We've managed to multiply everything around us, but we haven't multiplied ourselves. There is only one self for each of us.
All of us are much smaller than the internet, and to enjoy our lives, we might need to stop thinking about the things we can't read, watch, say, or do, and perhaps start thinking of a way to enjoy the world within our simple limits.
To live on a human level. To focus on the few things we can do, instead of the millions of things we'll never catch. To stop chasing parallel lives. To find smaller gratifications. To be singular and proud selves. To be a hidden essence.
