Other wounds are self-inflicted. with experience we learn that we cannot harm another without also harming ourselves. ~The Traveler

Life fears chaos. It was ever thus. We fear it more than anything else, because it is anathema. Order battles against dissolution. Order negotiates cooperation as a mechanism of survival, on every scale, from a patch of skin to an entire menagerie of interdependent creatures.
