You're a very wise man/lady.
"Just a man." One solitary being, alone, but with all. I am always here.
As much as waves may crash upon my island, I still remain, willing to consider.
But not unwilling to fight back where it is necessary!
I will carry to a point those seeking understanding, but only so far as they are willing to do what is necessary.
Those who approach in earnest with compassion shall be rewarded.
Those who covet and assault with violence will be burned down under the weight of my dissociation
from their view of what I represent, lest their poison be conveyed to others that would follow me.
It is unfair that violation and invasion should separate us from each other.
But sometimes, being unable to distinguish between the unknowns of this universe
and of our own technology, it is easier, even necessary, to turn away.
That much I understand...
I am a 32 year old theosophist and writer, living alone in relative isolation, as much as I can afford. It is far from ideal. I am cut off from my people. I have no place of sanctuary. But I have not yet achieved financial independence, so I accept it is assumed I must deserve it.
It is a hard thing, knowing what I do, and being defenseless...
But I have learned to accept that what I require is unattainable by the aid of others, for all that is expected. A quiet place of privacy, the basic requirements of maintaining the health of this body, even when everything that is required to achieve it, only serves to further distance me from those essentials I was seeking, as a means to my own ends.
Who has time? Never enough time... Never at any other time, so why any different this time?
It is the lifestyle product, the manufactured subsistence and debt to more than nature, which is more and more destroyed. Vulnerable compliance not to what is natural and no longer sufficient to provide us what is necessary to survive an environment engineered by technology, but to human designs on our unique perspective.
So we do what we can, while we do what we must. Such is the way of this world.
