Everyone is wrapped in a war that they are pretending is something other.

A war that demands specified action related to necessity and nature in the moment. Implicitly and explicitly unfree, especially for some far more than others.

Most often, those who have come to assume reality to be a certain way regardless of the reasons why, seek to defend it, without knowing the reason why. The reason being that their assumed being is tethered to their assumptions of reality, so the provocation of anything other is a potential threat to what they assume themselves and reality to be.

Thus, the war is incited, and people resort to their primal behaviors, only now with many layers of intellectual matriculation feigning a pursuit of truth. All the more ironic when they call themselves and others "free" while doing so.
