The Numbing Effect

The numbing effect. A lot of it these days, appears to be self-inflicted so we can cope more easily with the craziness that surrounds us.

Is there another way of dealing with contemporary life? This is a 5.25 by 4.5 inches gel pen with color pencil drawing on medium bond acid-free paper.
