chained

imagine that you are becoming more and more retard these last couple of years. It is getting worse every year.
your entourage noticed it. your friends and family noticed it, while you still haven't. And this is only bad news.
This would make you rethink, were you already a retard, but it just manifested itself and got stronger?
The pace of processing information is becoming slower and slower.When you really think about it, you start to wonder what is madness, you cannot really figure out whether are you the retard or are you the only sane person in your entourage. This is the feeling that you would most likely to feel when you think outside your culture and when you try to get free from it you will find yourself chained by those traditions.
