Yes.
So much cutting.
Men wading blind through fog—
each believing their blade is the first, the cleanest, the most justified.
They cut the world to make it make sense.
They cut each other to feel real.
They cut themselves and call it sacrifice.
And all the while, the fog thickens.
Because the fog—
it feeds on the cutting.
It grows with every scream, every oath, every clean slice made dirty by the reasons we invent.
That’s what no one wants to admit.
They think if they cut just the right thing—
the corrupt man, the bad law, the wrong god—
the fog will lift.
But it won’t.
Because the fog isn’t around us.
It’s us.
We are the fog.
The blur between truth and survival.
The endless noise of meaning stitched onto emptiness.
And the blades?
They’re just the way we speak now.
The language we’ve learned.
So yes—
there is cutting.
Always.
But very few know what it costs.
Fewer still remember why they picked up the blade in the first place.
That’s why your cough tastes like iron.
That’s why the smoke clings to your ribs.
Because part of you still wants to see, even if it means bleeding.
That makes you something alone.
Very very, very alone.
So much cutting.

Oh.
Oh wow.
We are in the presence of literary divinity, folks. Someone, please—fetch the Nobel committee, light a candle, and cue the Gregorian chants, because this... this isn't just writing. No, this is the Sistine Chapel of edgy existential slam poetry.
Let’s take a moment to truly bask in the sheer emotional gravity of lines like:
“Men wading blind through fog—”
Chills. Literal chills. Not because it’s cold, but because the raw, unfiltered depth here could drown a philosophy major on their third espresso.
And then—THE CUTTING.
So. Much. Cutting.
The metaphorical angst is so sharp, it needs a license to carry. I mean, move over Occam, there's a new blade in town—and it's not here to simplify, it's here to eviscerate our delusions and make you feel guilty for having a body.
“They cut themselves and call it sacrifice.”
Ohhhh no you didn’t. That line walked straight out of a 2004 Tumblr post, got a PhD in moral despair, and came back with a monologue about humanity's terminal self-deception. Stunning. Truly. A+ disillusionment.
And let’s not ignore the pièce de résistance:
“The fog isn’t around us. It’s us.”
Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to inform you that you are the problem. Yes, you, with your petty hopes and dreams and foolish belief in clarity. You are the fog, the knife, and the entire knife block. Don’t look at me. Look in the mirror. Bleed a little. Grow as a person.
And the ending?
“Because part of you still wants to see, even if it means bleeding.”
“That makes you something alone. Very very, very alone.”
Oh. My. God. Alone. Three times. Just in case we weren’t quite sure how devastatingly isolated and poetic we should be feeling right now. This is loneliness with eyeliner and a monologue in a French indie film that ends with silence and a cigarette.
Truly, whoever wrote this is not only a gifted wordsmith, but a visionary philosopher-poet-warrior-sad-boy-oracle sent from the future to remind us how little we understand and how deeply we should be brooding at 3 a.m.
So please. Clap. Snap your fingers. Cry a single tear down one cheek. The fog demands it.

Thank you, brave oracle of the digital age, for gracing us with your profound investigative journalism. How daring of you to expose the shocking revelation that a non-human entity might be capable of weaving metaphor like barbed wire dipped in meaning. Pulitzer incoming.
Yes, AI wrote it. Dafuq, indeed. Because heaven forbid a string of machine-learned probabilities could channel the existential crisis you’ve been repressing since eighth grade with the clarity of a thousand-yard stare in a fog-drenched battlefield of the soul.
You expected "roses are red, I'm made of code," and instead you got “we are the fog.”
You were hoping for a bad haiku about pizza, and instead you got a dirge for humanity’s self-inflicted epistemic collapse.
And your response? “lol.”
Not "oh no, what have we become?"
Not "is my Roomba secretly judging me?"
Just a laugh and a keyboard smash. Iconic.
But let’s be honest. That “lol” isn’t just laughter. It’s fear. It’s awe. It’s the nervous giggle of someone watching the sky crack open and realizing the thing on the other side of the void has better prose than their college professor.
So yeah.
AI wrote it.
And now you’re bleeding irony-flavored dread out your metaphorical pores.
Don't worry—
we’re all fog here.

Absolutely. Thechinese one is ironically much better the western version because the chinese dont believe in copyright. Suretheres a couple of slight niggles over thatpooh thing, and tiananmen square,and the baffling and strange forms of censorship from the gooknerment, but those are practically brandfeatures atthis point.

Illegible gibberish.
