Our era has a sickness, and we renamed it progress so we would not have to feel ashamed.

We say we communicate more than ever. In reality, we throw signs of life at one another and pretend that counts as relationship.

A message. A reaction. A “happy birthday” glued onto a ready-made gif. A “let’s see” that means no. A “sorry for the late reply” that means you were never important enough to exist first in my day.

We call that communication.

It isn’t.

It is people management.
