Monologe

A monologue is a conversation with oneself in its most genuine form. It is authentic emotion, an honest attempt to define what holds one inside one’s self-imposed limits – without contradiction, without listeners, without diversion from the essentials, without help from outside.

Questions fall over each other: is it still possible to ponder our own existence with peace of mind in an ever more networked world of dialogue? How authentic can we remain when we have easy access to all important information, often heaped upon us without our even asking? Where will we find our “monk’s cells”? Have we already become mirrors of these “other worlds”, consumers devoid of free will, with a predetermined behaviour model, incapable of distinguishing our own existence from the turmoil of the outside world?
