Posted January 29th, 2006‘modern society’ draws lines. The first stick to break sand launched a revolution of lines. Border lines. Directive lines. Warning lines. They all suggest an understanding of passivism for the ‘greater good’.
“Do not deny these lines”, we say.
Lines will teach you- train you.
Mould you.
Your actions create lines; tangents of a line, you.
Lines on a page. Straight lines and curved lines. Sharp or curled lines. There has been created a system of the se lines and by staying within the lines a thought can be passed. A message.
No two lines are alike. No two messages are alike. The same message twice will be comprised of different lines and so no matter how fine a line is drawn, it’s interpretation and reiteration will always be different.
This impossibility of message duplication haunts the modern society. An falseimage of this cumulative self has been crafted to trick the singular into believing that there is consistency, there is consistency, there is consistency.
Nobody knows what will happen next. This unruly fate drives some to act in anticipation. To coherce others in anticipation.
Where do we draw the line?
Where does war end? When does peace begin?
Words, as lines on a page- as lines of thought in your mind, attempt to hold a singular meaning or truth in order to convey a message. The impossibility of duplication. This impossibility of verbally transmitted messages being really duplicated, causes war.
‘War’ as the word that is constantly redefined each time it is used, and each time its use is revisited. It will never end, and it will always be, and be beginning. As long as there is more than one essential substance, there will be no singularity of definition.
We will always be at war.
