 What is good and new to be made is next to impossible.  Decades, centuries of consideration, deliberation, tasks, and work go into preparing the ground just such that it is even remotely possible when all are safe and sound.  That everybody is involved is the crux of the dilemma - the differences in circumstances, understanding of those circumstances, positions in the society and the larger Nature... therein lies the impossibility despite the ordering of societies.

In the world today, we are most like those we are next to. That destabilization occurs everyday, but that some instances are more affecting than others, this could not be denied.  The fight is not the substantial conflict with each other, we must believe, but in the slow resolution of differences, one at a time.  Faster, we wish, but sometimes only so far.  Can some move be have anyway - in what lies the fairness to each and every?  Law and individual compassion are at the foundation of it all.  Hence, the great man and woman, those who saw a little further because they have the courage to stand upon the premise, the good premise, they have drawn.

We all try to protect those we love.  Yet, to see further is to precisely ask ourselves, in which establishment can we believe?  Where are those leaders we sought everyday?  Matyrdom is the last resort if that were the act that was taken by those who could barely understand anymore but believe in a certain establishment.  History and culture, for one.  It was in their own memory and heart.

What of the establishment that reject inertia in being too established?  They are vulnerable but accept the risk involved.  The best are protected so for the future, as though upon a high lookout tower, they try to relay to those on the ground what is possible.  In these lookout towers too creation occurs.  For example, the projective cast of domains that rends so many more creative and civil possibilities real.

I plead that you wait and consider and not let the inertia, yes, motion is too an aspect of inertia, move you forward.  Be brave and advance carefully.  Have a good evening.

Fast forward to_. (arg: the futures city)

 The land was large but the camp was just so.  There were no boundaries in sight when a person mills about, taking care of business.  It is the tip, the vertex, the front or frontier, the very front terminates by convergence to a point somewhere ahead, further beyond sight somewhere the horizon looms forward always beyond grasp.
