Split

The least plausible basis for action? A finding of right and wrong.

Ego muscles up

Individual egos take each other to court. Tribal egos cheer wildly at football games and beat each other up. National egos become fevered, declare war, drop bombs. Are we not adrift in aggrievement?

Guilt is an attack on the self by the self. It splits us.

The new man

A healthy masculinity does not compete. Neither does it worship at the altar of profit and loss.

Only us

It’s like a fevered dream we live in, this oscillating fear-world of us and others. But look and see: there are no others.
