Money has no value in itself, but it gets us things we value. To say money has no value is to say this world, and
all the things in it that money can buy, has no value.
Shit has no value in itself, but it gets us things we value. Shit was the first, and is still the best, fertilizer. What Freud called the symbol of
death and decay is also, as fertilizer, the ultimate source
of food and life. Shit as fertilizer is the nothing from which all things grow.
My life is shit. Instead of making
something good with the talent I was born with, I wasted it. Most of us waste
our lives, turning our gardens into wasteland (another of my recurring
dreams).
If our species should ever wake from this nightmare we call
history, perhaps others will learn from our mistakes and grow gardens on the dunghill we used to call civilization.
