#coldness — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

The Marquis de Carabas looked up at him. His eyes were very white in the moonlight. And he whispered, “What’s it like being dead? It’s very cold, my friend. Very dark, and very cold.”

Neil Gaiman (b. 1960) British author, screenwriter, fabulist
Neverwhere, ch. 14 (1996)

This is What #Avoidant People Wish You Knew

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdwhmZx6DWo

You want to let people in—truly, you do—but every time #closeness feels too real, something inside whispers, be careful. For those who feel avoidant, #connection is both the thing they crave and the thing that terrifies them most. It’s not #coldness; it’s #selfprotection shaped by fear of #rejection, #pastwounds, and #emotions that sometimes feel too big to carry.

A quotation from Joubert, Joseph:

«
In every kind of debauch there enters much coldness of soul. It is a conscious and voluntary abuse of pleasure.

[Il entre, dans toute espèce de débauche, beaucoup de froideur d’àme; elle est un abus réfléchi et volontaire du plaisir.]
»

11 C outside, 5 C inside. Supposedly its "warm" and somewhat sunny outside. This house doesnt care, the walls are freezing cold.

And so am I. *shudders inwards*

In storms of #Winter
Bitter #Winds accumulate
And blow into our #hearts;
Leaving a #Coldness within
Thawed by the #Clock's #Kisses

coldness and alienation
I think that computer-generated music is only a stylistic device and not music in itself. It is there to represent coldness and alienation. Music consists of harmonic vibrations, they are very "mathematical". But they are not calculable.
