Fear and trembling, are genteel packages marketed for mass consumption. The raw product from which these derive is simply pure terror. This primitive takes many forms, but its original nature in what has been left of humanity's genome to-date : the ordinary citizen is a writhing mass of uncontrolled emotions, at once capricious, at once startled, throwing open embraces, then changing the locks on their apartment. An ethusiastic weakling, uncertain of how to face death, social discontent, personal incapacity ... often growing more and more confused and crumbly, as they age. Themselves, the product of poor upbringing, idiots taught by fools, fools born of fate. This is what I have woken to every day for nearly half a century. And for most of my life, I have expected these idiots to kill me, eventually. Nevertheless, one makes small efforts to correct this folly of our world. Violence can be degendered. Wisdom can be inhumane. Farther on, we urge meeklings upon their eventual salvation. For lack of interests in the world, everyone becomes social media Jesus. How did you affect the world, today?
