Yesterday i found this slug in a lettuce. I wondered how would it taste in my salad. In the end i let it be with that big green leaf. I think it did not realize what was going on and how dramatically could be changed his fate what ever i would decided to do. Are we in the same position? Are we slugs of our social system? That society that it is one order of magnitude up bigger than we are?
I am a slugman and i like to eat greeny leaf and vegetables, although i think i can do anything, in fact, i have ni choice. I only can run away, but where? And how? I got no legs! I only can slip myself away to slowly!
@freemo you are right, despite the man who sold the world we can be pretty happy leading our random lives.
@mikelga Who is "the man who sold the world"?
@freemo nobody knows, probably a white, average, caucasian male... 😜
When i was writing my answer thinked on the lyric of the homonym song by David Bowie. It talks about his own changing being all along his life. He asks himself who is that man he almost recognized in front of him.
@mikelga The big difference is there isnt any one person in control of society like there was that giant leaf :)
