Quietly wondering
Early in the morning and late in the evening people’s faces I catch a glimpse of on the bus radiate no emotional IQ what so ever. They look savage, prehistoric, as I imagine pre-humans to have looked like before inventing words to name emotions. But then again animals seem to do pretty well with emotions-then maybe the purpose of language is just to lie convincingly?

Well, I don't know in Sofia, but in London generally at those times that you mention people on public transport are either travelling to work or from work, so their faces are either
1) characterised by a blank stare into space
2) immersed in pages of a book, magazine, newspaper.
I think it's part of living in a city, that you need to display no emotional IQ, otherwise 'the others' will think you're mad.
Same here…and same everywhere I guess. I know city life is stressful and I’m not surprised it affects people; I can understand why it brings them down. But! I don’t understand why people don’t even try to resist the city, why they so willingly succumb to its power without even trying to fight back. If there’s no light then imagine it! Maybe people enjoy feeling miserable? Or maybe I’m just lucky to have vivid imagination.
And if someone thinks I’m mad so be it :)
