sense of sanctity

there have been many cultures/races

living by the oceanside for 1000's of

years but none of them came up with concepts like

surfing, shark nets, swimming for the hell of it,

triathalon, jet skiing, lifegaurds, tanning,

snorkeling, scubadiving ...

there is one particular race to which

one can ascribe all these grand achievements


lets try and learn

what the difference is

which allows 'it' to be more inventive than others

what one finds is that

the other races are all too

cuckoo in the head

they see the ocean as a 'being'

a sacred one at that

they are always establishing/preserving

sanctity of things/places

to them it would be disrespectful to

create unnecessary disturbance in the

sacred waters of the oceangod

this race however has no such qualms

it sees things differently

it has a 'nothing is sacred'

& everything is there for pillaging,

tampering & conquering approach


'it' only grants sanctity & sacredness to

its own creations i.e

hallowed grounds of wimbledon,

golf/cricket/football arenas & trophies etc.

there are some minor setbacks like titanic,

surfing deaths, crocodile-hunter taken out

by a sting ray etc.

but one needn't worry because the

lifeguards are there to baywatch


there is a general carefree attitude which

allows its members to

run naked & plunge chestfirst

into a sea full of blue bottles & sea urchins

aha what bliss


so we have it - our conclusion -

the 'sense of sanctity' is

costing other races a whole lot of fun

what 'it' sees as fun others

see as disrespectful & uncomfortable


makes one wonder whether

the elements can be imbued with some

sacred essence beyond physics of 3-D reality

while others are clear that

such is the case

'it' is not so sure

and is making more than adequate use of the unsurity ...
