War and rumours of war

The world is as it is because we are as we are.

Life of the party

No social gatherings? Maintain a two-meter distance? Sounds like introvert heaven to me.

Taboo

There is only one universal taboo: incest. Ego can rationalize every other behaviour.

Love at the edges

When we buy a piece of art, the first thing we do is put a frame around it. This protects the art, intensifies its beauty. Frames are boundaries. There’s no love without them.

Evolution

As humanity evolves, two things happen: On the inside, our obsession with time (past and future) begins to break up; on the outside, our differences become less distinct. Eventually, there will be no borders and we’ll all be chocolate-coloured. “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for we are all one.” No male, no female. No past, no future. We have barely begun to grasp what this means.
