@Khodu thank you for looking. Interesting take on mine. The perceived injustice is not what’s causing the problems, it’s the pondering moodily. it’s the “suffering” they inflict on themselves and others. It’s like the stereotype of a New Yorker walking into traffic and saying “Hey, hey, I’m walking here!” only instead it’s “Hey, hey, I’m suffering here.” I could almost as easily change out perceived injustice with suffer the happiness of others.
Also" reflect on" isn’t necessarily memory, I meant it as take into consideration, which it is listed in the conscious gists list in Subtext.
Now for yours, btw thank you for playing.
You only have one side of the argument “too much bureaucracy” represented. And I’m not seeing the trouble stemming from the consciousness of the bureaucracy, but from the actuality/doing of it.
So maybe something like… Rats want to be thoughtful of each other in order to emulate the best parts of human society, unless they become conscious that humans are stupid and their societies keep failing in order to pursue a better future for themselves.
How about that?
Only by way of discussion, so that we can see our differing perspectives (see what I did there?) I want to explore this a bit.
Two things, in the first half I don’t see any of the justification (in order to) aspect
Second, what I’m picturing in my head are people who wallow. In my experience, people who wallow are so focused on themselves, they have no capacity to see things from another person’s perspective because they are too conscious of their own pain/inequities, they aren’t interested in people knowing the injustices to rectify them, but so they can woe-is-me (I’m thinking of Glum here, from the cartoon version of Gulliver’s Travels on the Banna Split show. To me, they are definitely mutually exclusive, which means I fell short. So the question becomes…how could I communicate that more clearly?
