Peace from Nyx

Nyx is close to niks or nothin in our language so aboave could mean peace from nothing
The last clear definitive function of man - muscles aching to work, minds aching to create beyond the single need - this is man. To build a wall, to build a house, a dam and in the wall and house and dam to put something of Manself, and to Manself take back something of the wall, the house, the dam, to take hard muscles from the lifting, to take the clear lines and form from conceiving. For man , unlike anything organic or inorganic in the universe, grows beyond his work, walks up the stairs of his concepts, emerges ahead of his accomplishments. This you may say of of man - when theories change and crash , when schools, philosophies, when narrow dark alleys of thought, national , religious, economic, grow and disintegrate, man reaches, stumbles forward, he may slip back, but only half a step, never the full step back. This you may show and know it and know it.

.... And this you can know - fear the time when Manself will not suffer and die for a concept, for this one quality is the foundation of Manself, and this one quality is man, distinctive in the universe.

...But this tractor does two things - it turns the land and it turns us off the land. There is little difference between the tractor and a tank. The people are driven, intimidated, hurt by both. We must think about this.

One man, one family driven from the land , this rusty car creaking along the highway to the west. I lost my land, a single tractor took my land. I am alone and bewildered. And in the night one family camps in a ditch and another family pulls in and the tents come out. The two men squat on their hams and the women and children listen. Here is the node, you who hate change and fear and revolution. Keep these two squatting men apart, make them hate, fear , suspect each other. Here is the anlage* of the thing you fear. This is the zygote*. For here "I lost my land" is changed ; a cell is split and from its splitting grows the thing you hate - ' We lost our land'The danger is here, for two men are not as lonely and perplexed as one. And from this first 'we' there grows a still more dangerous thing: 'I have a little food' plus 'I have none'. If from this problem the sum is ' We have a little food', the thing is is on its way, the movement has direction... This is the thing to bomb. This is the beginning - from "I" to 'we".

If you who own the things people must have could understand this, you might preserve yourself.......For the quality of owning freezes you for ever into 'I', and cuts you off for ever from the 'we'

- John Steinbeck Grapes of Wrath


Its so easy Nyx you simple do not exist for us anymore. Your just another orc to be laughed at and ridiculed. Your words drowned out by your insignificance.

Well on to normal things. A great event is on the horizon for Krakken and I will have to start preparing for it. So the enxt article you will see is probably the end of the money making series a few clean up articles and then you will have to wait patiently my dear readers.

Ok onto quiet music as your heads gnash through what I said above.
