Intent is a knife
It is extremely dangerous and also hard to hold right. In the right hands it can do wonders.
Everyone is running away from it though; theyre too fond of fresh cuts from the deli to cut it themselves. Manufactured originality.
All that time spent trying to make me more practical, so much time wasted sharpening the wrong end of the knife. Some things that should not be privileged are privileged, forcing people to specialise in situations that are unnatural to them. I wonder how many cleavers have been used as shovels.
The world right now seems to try to kill intent. Profit-driven survival has this nasty takeaway: what doesnt generate value for the shareholders doesnt belong to to the system. It may well not be intentional -- this lapse of value may be a by-product of our lack of wisdom, but perhaps this lack of intent is the ultimate nail in the coffin for creative freedom.
Please explore your intent in a silence away from the imposition of others.
