Raze it all to the ground.

Raze it all to the ground and salt the earth. I have always wore my disdain for people on my sleeve; distrust and contempt burning bright from my core. That being said, something else must be said about desire, and the quest for genuine connection and meaningful human interaction. Ultimately it becomes a question of quality over quantity, building cohesive human units.

Its collectivism at it’s finest. A relationship where the product is worth more than it’s individual parts. But it has to be built on something - a foundation of integrity. There is no hierarchy of needs, no bad or good, no worry about who or what is essential. Just the identification of vulnerability and limitation of weakness. When thinking in terms of people as cohesive units, an old proverb comes to mind - something about speed vs. distance and what company you keep - but this saying ignores human nature, it assumes equal effort and leaves out the tendency for people to be complacent.

All it takes to thwart cohesiveness and destroy something genuine is one vulnerability. Make no mistake we are only ever as good as our vulnerabilities allow. Fear, Arrogance, Dishonesty, and Tenacity all create the potential for detonation. The consequence is sometimes burning those we don’t intend to - sometimes even ourselves. And when that happens note the weakness, fix the breach, and continue firing. Create something new, don’t try to repeat or recreate the past.
