“Imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality." Jules de Gaultier

Hospitality

I'm just so tired of people pretending like there are such things as:

IDEAS

...that are outside of people.

.....................................................................................................

A lot of the world that I live in is predicated on that assumption. That what makes an idea worthwhile is the fact that its BIGGER than any of the people who...

"have"

...the idea.

.....................................................................................................

So I today, hereby, officially renounce that idea. I no longer believe that ideas exist outside of people.

And in fact, I find it only interesting to examine ideas as they exist with people.

.....................................................................................................

"with"ness, then, must precede the flow of ideas.

(which is true whether or not you buy the rest of this blog.)

so the greater the with-ness, the more likely it is that ideas will flow in coherent meaningful wholeness.
