EMO-SICK?

I always wondered what is one of the biggest problem for people who live in this world now. And when I said this world, I mean a world that everything happens so rapidly and so easily with all the high-techs we got in our hands and all kinds of tools we could use. However, when things are speeding up and getting convenient, why do I still feel so tired and unhappy? I guess the common disease for all of the modern people is our emotion. We could get so high and happy by drinking alcohol and probably using drugs, and how many percent of that happiness is real and pure? And when all the side affects are gone, how soon will we be back in our sadness again? And how many times even when we are in that extreme happy mode, we still feel sorrow in some where of our heart? And when these distinct emotions are dragging you at the same time, how long and how much can we take before tearing apart by them? And the distance between us and our true selves, it is filled with lust, desire, and pretending. There are so many things we want and need, that sometime we will act against who we actually are to get, and it is really hard to get out of that circle. How are we going to walk through all these lures to be the person that we actually are? And how are we going to answer ourselves when we question ourself? And are all those struggles some kind of emotional disease? What is the line between normal struggle and an actual disease? In my work, I use color lights to present different emotions, and also putting the contrast colors together t present different emotions crushing into each other.
