We like existing, and generally recognizing the need for other people to exist too, we like that. But when these two things conflict, fuck them, we say.

Likes like this are grounded in instinct, which is to say either what God, or else the blind chance of natural selection, has written in our hearts.

I try to do my best by taking as little from the earthball as I can. Having said that, I also realize that I sin against it. The smaller people are the ones that I look up to the most.

Smaller in disturbance? I am thinking out loud.

If I do not disturb you, as in comfort, as in noise, then I am smaller. Similarly I appreciate that you are mostly insignificant and don't disturb me save for a question of consequence.

The question of smallness might start to evolve in the value of advertising. For example I appreciate your disturbing me once every few years. That is valuable disturbance. But if you owned a gas station in my town with talking pumps and bright lights and credit card . . . that would be wealth evangelism and big. I frown on that. A Jeffersonian term for frowning might be bloodshed. Such is the difference in terms as the fight stays the same but more people get involved.
