Bellum Omnium Contra Omnes


"The notion that happiness is an objective condition which demands more than subjective feelings has been effectively hidden; its validity depends on the real solidarity of the species "man," which a society divided into antagonistic classes and nations cannot achieve. As long as this is the history of mankind, "the state of nature," no matter how refined, prevails : a civilised bellum omnium contra omnes, in which the happiness of the ones must coexist with the suffering (crucifixion) of others." Herbert Marcuse 

We have outlived a golden age of emancipation for which our ancestors were slaved through time for our sake, yet somewhere in that spiral of time it appears, impatient desire sold our emancipation. 

At a certain time one should ask themselves what stimulates their partner. Perhaps they could wish for the remains of the Arts and Humanities to fund a redecoration of the local church, while the goldfish bowl effect of general neighbourhood planning competes with those they once loved as neighbours, now beyond their own mutation on the dark web.
