The principle of numbness comes into play with electric technology, as with any other. We have to numb our central nervous system when it is extended and exposed, or we will die. Thus the age of anxiety and of electric media is also the age of the unconscious and of apathy. But it is strikingly the age of consciousness of the unconscious, in addition.
Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.
Anxiety is love’s greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic.
A hug can turn your day around. It’s like an emotional Heimlich when someone puts their arms around you, and they give you a squeeze, and all your fear and anxiety comes shooting out your mouth in a big wet wad and you can breathe again.
