Solitary Confinement
The mind looks to confine to measure to contextualize to give meaning to itself for the ego can exist only in finite possibilities needing to enclose itself in a part of the universe walled off from the rest of creation and from within that prison to show itself off yearning to be recognized, to be [...]
