Larger than Life

I like systems that work.
Systems that do not collapse on themselves; ones that lack few contradictions. Stripping any given dimension of reality of contradictions is unfortunately an exigent process. Even more unfortunate is that those contradictions I am about to speak of are capable of undoing the system of human existence (which is flawed in itself).

Lets take a step back and go over exactly what I mean by everything I've mentioned earlier. By system I mean a seemingly organized methodology and steps that keep intact the part of reality it is responsible for. An example of a system would be capitalism. It is a system of free commerce and free ideas. It has many moving parts, the power of the individual to govern their commerce being one aspect of the system, that attempt to stall or even fix the contradictions. A gargantuan contradiction of this system is the huge power of the rich, one contradiction that tightens it's knot ever more so tighter as time goes on. I will not berate capitalism, nor will I deny that capitalism has some good aspects.

Let us now take a dimension of reality we exist in. By that I mean an aspect of the observable world we live in, and condensing it into a system. Do not forget everything exists in a system. Ideas exist in a system as they manifest themselves in the mind, pulled and pushed by the waves of the society it exists in. The dimension of reality I am concerned with- Nature: the purest of systems and most perfect of systems. It could be possible that women have been blamed for most of our sins because Mother Nature herself made a mistake and went forward with making the sentient that is humankind. Her biggest, and only, contradiction.

Man has a propensity to reduce the dimension of reality it exists in: sucking the life out of it; stripping it naked; and furthermore leaving it barren of any seeds to regrow and replace the wasteland.

Man is a leech. It is parasitic. It consumes. Grows.
And it believes this is it's manifest destiny.
It yearns to be larger than life,
be a system in itself.

Together, let us discuss what it is to be human, and more importantly, how to do it better.
Together, let us establish a more perfect system, free of pernicious arrogance.
Let us stand shoulder to shoulder & united.
