At the bottom of it all is people. People are why power. People are why commerce. People are why fear. People are why ideologies. People are why work. People are why hate. People are why compassion. People are why governments. People are why philosophies. People are why grocery stores. People are why crops. People are why landscapes. People are why art. People are why poverty. People are why justice. People are why joy. People are why sorrow. People are why despair. People are why hope. People are why pain. People are why pleasure.
Societies, cultures, infrastructures, wars, nations, wealth-figments of human imagination. I find it somehow amazing that we design, wrangle, hustle, plead, fight, invent, provide, deny, breathe, submit, coerce, destroy, torture, heal, sacrifice, forgive, live, and die, and name them for all purposes but the true one: for people. Take away people, and none of the rest of it actually matters.
What a glorious insanity we are,
