Hamartia

Insanity is defined as an unsoundness of mind. It is seen as a disease, or a defect that renders one unable to understand, or comprehend logical ideology. If the layers of ourselves are peeled away, we are left simply with our core. At the core of ourselves, at the core of humanity, however, lies, by the traditional definition, insanity. Insanity, contrary to belief, is the essence of our being, and the cornerstone of our lives.

Our sanity is a lie. It is the facade of honesty, only the illusion of truth. Sanity is what we aspire to, and yet never achieve. It is time we had to the courage to understand and admit to everything we are, and the false pretences with which we have use to hold it. It is time we recognize our intention is not to civilize, but to conquer. It is time we understood that everything we are is built on the backs of subjugated people. We come to North America, Africa and Asia to build our empire, and to execute our interests. This is what we do; this is what we are.

We are all responsible, each of us in our way for the bereavement we bring. We leave our people without homes, we throw them to the mercy of the dogs, all while keeping with the facade of justice, and civility. We come not to reap, but to rape. We come to execute our interests on false pretences, making our intentions honorable. This flaw in humanity, this means of insanity, is the cause of our corruption.

There is an honesty, though, in our insanity. It is the truth of ourselves. It explains our actions, our intentions, and our flaws. It is a true form of being, a form which frees us of our bind to false civility. We no longer require a facade of false pretences. We are given the freedom to be as we are; we are given the freedom to be pestilent, destructive, and savage.

With the means of insanity, we become adept. The horror that is ourselves is unbound; the horror that is the truth of humanity is brought forth. Our greatest failure is given reign to cut us down, and blight is the resolve.
