Once upon a time, humans decided to become gods, refashioning themselves and the world in an unceasing act of pointless creation and re-creation. They decided to be the judges of Good and Evil. This poisonous attitude corroded their capacity to be with and for each other. They became lonely, suspicious, competitive, and miserable. As they remade themselves, cracks appeared between the constantly reshuffled parts of their bodies and souls. They tried to plaster over these cracks with drugs and medical procedures. They self-soothed by consuming objects and each other. They sought freedom by cutting all ties and severing all roots.
This is from a writing exercise where we narrated our research projects as stories. Curiously, several people went in the Biblical direction, which shocked some of them.
