Whips

[italiceyeball]

What principle(set of principles?) drives our world? Wealth. Was it always so? Were humans always herded by desire for advancement? The great religions of the world ritualize, fetishize desire. A man of any god will insist that his goals, and his demons, are more noble for not being of the material world. The answer is irrelevant because it is the whip that stings and not its intent.

If not Wealth than the Will of the Zealot. Neither is better than the other, and the two are often hypocritically intertwined.

Welcome to Dreamwidth, or at least to this account if you're not new to the service entirely.

Our common interest writing, is that what brought you to us?

I kept a journal some years ago(a lifetime ago?) on lj, abandoned. Dreamwidth is a more comfortable fit.

The compulsion to write is part of the draw, along with the idea of participation. I'm fascinated with the textual medium: these words as our faces, sentences, tone and style replacing shape and movement.

Zealots are some of the most interesting people...

Thank you for the welcome.
