: Greetings Jem,
" Words mean stuff, Gar. Re-read your middle graph—that’s why it’s a minefield. Imprecise language fosters confusion." Yes that's it. CONFUSION. This life seems to lend itself to being confused and the degree of it's influence on us. The game of being confused and thinking that gar knows something is what, living in harmony, seems to be about.
in peace,
gar
