Once again the silence is shattered.
The need is to once more come clean - to confess of the exploits of my mind.
There was a time when this would have been a laughable offense, these days - it is not so funny.
In fact there was a time when in my naivety - I assumed the world to be a simple place with simple rules, which only needed to be followed for all to be alright.
Oh the misery of time and the lessons learned.
Now I only too well understand - there are no absolutes.
There are only choices and the effects that the said choice or choices has - that is all.
It was indeed a sober time for me - to step back and see how my innocence and naivety where gradually eroded over time.
the bible refers to it as: breaking the hedge.
I have since broken mine in several places and all manner of cretins are now pouring in - I am a little afraid of the eventual outcome and the complacency of my morals.
The edict of man is a complex treaty - it requires more than anything else an understanding of our natures and the diversity that defines us.
It calls on us to give more of ourselves in the understanding of each other and hence that which animates us to achieve exploits of significance.
How much we can achieve depends on our abilities, motivations and support pillars (people, belief or temperament) and yet this are not the end of the list.
I have seen that humanity is no different from ever other system or colony made of diverse parts - each with a specified function and task - each assigned a role.
If the parameters of communication are well defined - you yield a system that works like clockwork and is as efficient as possible. If however the means of communication break down or mis-communication or misunderstanding occur then you start to witness the effects of system breakdown or parts of the system doing what they're not supposed to do.
We are a lovely species but infact we're no different than any colony of living beings - ants, beehives, lion pride, wolf pack - all follow laid down rules of behavior and conduct.
To break such rules is to single out yourself as a maverick and non-team player.
The irony however is that it usually requires one to challenge the system before great changes can be made or great advances. This normally creates moments of great tension but the rewards can often be well worth it.
The bottom line is to be part of a system that yields a result - the sum of its parts are normally greater than the collective taken together.
And that is all we require to move ahead.
