theirs not ours

Refuse to close your eyes. If you cannot see your ears will suffice. If no ears, you can rely on what everyone else relies on; the shirt-tails of other people who have questionable notions of what constitutes the consideration of anyone else but themselves and their condition. They pass this on to you/us not through fault, but through their humanness unashamed and bashful. Suppression of what is natural to them requires change which would be the same as admitting they were wrong. Few people, of any age, are capable of this yet we all want this in one form of the other while holding on to the values of other people who have supplied us with our security tools and core values we fight so directly inside.
