Codes

You operate from the belief you must protect yourself from what is happening because it must contain what threatens you. 

A sense of threat is an acknowledgment of an inherent weakness; a belief that there is danger which has power to call on you to make appropriate defense. 

The world is based on this insane belief. 

And all its structures, all its thoughts and doubts, its penalties and heavy armaments, its legal definitions and its codes, its ethics and its leaders and its gods, all serve but to preserve its sense of threat. 

For no one walks the world in armature but must have terror striking at his heart.
