The oft overlooked modality of being human, is that to over intellectualize methods, leaves the intellectual in a position of vulnerability unto the bureaucracy of things and perhaps not the ‘ability of things’.

It is always painful to behold our method of complexity leaves a vast landscape of humans without understanding us, and us marooned from knowing where our food and hands meet in union of closeness.

We have a system of kings, becoming as one can visualize, the villages of a thousand kings, all self important, and all justified in being important, merely because the persuasion of society is to become a king, or the individualism to ‘control’ our destiny from point ‘a’ to point ‘b’ in full colonial correctness to ‘become something’ or to ‘become a career’.

This is so forthcoming that the labels used, continually crush possibilities and turf out others with objections of others to exist.

By way of example, this morning I apologized to my son for fitting the stereotype of, “you can not live in the basement forever”. This is the first objectionable statement to remove the home he knows by objectifying the home as a weakness, not a strength, love of course is the strength and eviction to a sibling is akin to expropriation as a right to betterment.

Who is to say, that my home is not to become the foundation of a university, the foundation of a central meeting point, the foundation to a guidance temple, or just the intelligence centre of something more than all the other boxes on the street.
