I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was grey.

I was leaving in a grey world. Sad. Empty. Without colours. Without bliss. In a grey world. I was working in a factory, in a grey, sad, empty factory. Every day, I did the same I had been done yesterday. Nothing special, any smile from a stranger, any smile from a friend, any friend, any smile. One day, a dream changed my world. I could hear my laughter, I could hear something different from the sounds I am used to; I saw myself when I was a child, when I was still happy. Suddenly my alarm clock woke me up, and I realised I was dreaming, and for a long time I had been happy, happy for the first time in too much time. Going to the factory, I saw the advertising slogan of our product Get Happy everywhere: “Get happy, get happy”, I was repeating to myself but I was not happy, I couldn’t. I arrived at the factory, but I could not think about something different, I was obsessed: I would like to live there, in the past, in my past. I was so obsessed that I tried to invent something, some object which allowed me to escape, to isolate my reality, and after losing my job, I finally got it. I was famous and very rich thanks to my extraordinary finding and I became the boss of the big empire of Get Happy, now the name changed to Bliss. I was the most powerful man in the city, I had billions of pounds, but this was not my objective. I turn myself as my boss, the capitalist system absorbed me and I lost again my opportunity to save myself.


This is not an invented story, in my view, is our world.
