As humans, our basic currency is our lifespan. In the digital world, this is seen in the exchange of our attention, our presence before the screen, not for money but information. We pay with the amount of time we spend in front of our computers.

They’re the ones who have given up on prosperity.
They are living the nightmare.

MPT Greek and Cypriot poetry in English translation no.3 of 2025 is utterly brilliant!! 🤩
