i also share the amazement for insects as i want to do for all kinds of other living beings. sometimes i feel this also in a very peculiar feeling that always seems harder and harder to compress into meaning composed with these funny traditional expressions a.k.a. words ...
i also think that specific species has something more and quite interesting to the notions of words like "kingdom", "empire" or maybe "state"...
however i still wonder why supposedly living beings of a supposedly greatly more advanced species appear to be trying to imitate the tribal behaviour that such supposedly not-as-advanced-as-a-species" have imprinted in their social organizational structures and can be observed naturally.
yet maybe it is only our definitions of "advanced species" that lets us create a distorted interpretation of the truth in/of reality in the first place and hence makes us deficient interpretators of reality and truth.
think about it. what it is what great architecture might become, if the essential knowledge is lost?? yes.... you might have guessed it: it's dump!! like tools can become useless if people forget how to use them properly, so blind is it how we impose our interpretations of realities on/in our innately most sophisticated tool.
YOU will realize understanding as soon as your understanding fails in realizing qualities of realities... in other words: when you stop seeing the world and everythign else how it is not, but how it really is...
lies are a fundamental tool for manipulation and one basis for manipulation is deception and eventually all kinds of fears show as influences on the intricate screen of our "mind's eye(s)" ... fear is a foundation ... and it is the mind-killer...
peace out
