Nothing is Impossible

Dissatisfaction comes only with the knowledge that something is missing, that there is more to be had... Catching a glimpse of perfection, can anyone not lust after it, although knowing full well it is impossible to attain...

Ignorance is bliss, indeed... But knowledge is power... Those seeking to gather power to themselves hoard it, claim ownership, buying and selling. Words, thoughts, ideas... are distributed and so power flows.

A web of streams and pools, where every person jealously guards their territory while attempting to expand it, never realizing that once upon a time, we swam in an ocean together... where knowledge, and power, was freely available to all, and owned by none.


Genesis 11

Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As men moved eastward they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.

They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, "Come let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.

But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. The Lord said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."

So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel - because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
