“No, maybe that wasn’t it. Words precede and surpass me, they tempt and alter me, and if I am not careful it will be too late: things will be said without my having said them. Or, at the very least, that wasn’t the only thing. My entanglement comes from how a carpet is made of so many threads that I can’t resign myself to following just one; my ensnarement comes from how one story is made of many stories. And I can’t even tell them all— a more truthful word could from echo to echo cause my highest glaciers to crumble down the precipice.” - Clarice Lispector

The part about Severance that is paradoxically easy to miss it is so central to the show is that it is a mirror to the everyday inhumanity of modern business culture especially when there is no counterbalancing force like unions to moderate the insanity of what the people at the top want.
Severance makes the point over and over again how tragic and meaningless it is that people develop relationships sometimes over decades in organizations and yet have no power over when one day someone is essentially obliterated from their lives and their place in that organization and nobody can talk about it on an emotional level… leaving the fired individual also feeling like they have lost a part of themselves in a discontinous and disjointed manner.
What a sentence.
