From the beginning of history the two antagonists have stood face to face: the creator and the second-hander. When the first creator invented the wheel, the first second-hander responded. He invented altruism.
The creator-denied,opposed, persecuted, exploited- went on, moved forward and carried all of humanity along on his energy. The second hander contributed nothing to the process expect the impediments.

The contest has another name: the individual against the collective.

People want nothing but mirrors around them. To reflect them while they’re reflecting too. you know, like the senseless infinity you get from two mirrors facing each other across a narrow passage. Usually in the more vulgar kind of hotels. Reflections of reflections and echoes of echoes. No beginning and no end. No center and no purpose.
