Vive Le Similarity phrosyne 3/21/2006 6:48 PM 1 out of 79 In order for this to work, you cannot see me, and you must never ever see you. I must be invisible but omnipresent. Everywhere and nowhere. You will look behind you, above you, below you and beyond me and see nothing. I will remain while you become a wraith, rippling through smoky galleries of reflecting pasts and futures, imaginings and ideals, speculations and signs. Signs. V. important. Even as I direct your attention anywhere but here, a mildly curious eye might still momentarily glimpse the immeasurable diversity of life. Your life, any life, just a momentary glimpse and then all my misanthropic misdirection might be without profit. So I make signs to remind you to forget life as soon as you see it. My signs ensure that the arc of significance perceived while you orbit life never contradicts my dominion and that you remain a lonely satellite, forever circling yourself. My signs remind you of my mastery and natural pre-eminence and your natural dependence to my dominion. You may even dream that one day you could be like me and do as I do. You might even aspire to be me. Aspire to be modified in the image of your tormentor. Finally there is fear. This is how I diminish your reason and ability to act; by persuading you that love is a lie. This is all that is required for a man to make a sepulchre of another man.
