We are born into a story
already in its tenth chapter.
The "debt collected by culture"
is the weight of our ancestors'
unresolved arguments and dogmas.
You inhale the air of the present,
but you are immediately taxed
by the ghosts of the past.
Whether it’s religion, national pride,
or family tradition,
culture is the debt collector
reminding you that your "original" life
has a lot of previous owners.
Even the smallest green thing is measured
by the metric of consumption.
The moment you are branded as a consumer,
the culture starts sending the bill.
It's a process of quality control,
ensuring we are standardized
from our very first breath.
The identity we claim
is just a batch number.
