I went to Washington, DC last weekend. These are a few of my pretty pictures. The city itself is sort of surreal; it’s a crowded, fully functioning city, with horrendous traffic, some nice areas and some horrible crime infested areas. But it’s also saturated with spectacular monuments, a shrine to the guys who created the foundation for the American civilization as we know it today. dc2 dc3

Washington and Lincoln dominate the city, strong selfless leaders in times of overwhelming societal conflict. It’s interesting to see the mark left by these original badasses, non-politician leaders who actually led the people through difficult times in hopes of securing future peaceful stability, and it becomes pretty clear that basically every aspect of existence seems to be based on some form of conflict. Without conflict there can be no progress, and if one entity progresses another must decline, there isn’t room for everyone to win. Races, religions, siblings and people of different geographical areas hate, fight, compete. Plants fight for groundspace. Our bodies struggle with disease, ultraviolet light, cholesterol and time itself. We organize and schedule supervised and regulated conflicts every day, with the players dressed in colorful uniforms, guided and yelled at by guys in suits (unless it’s baseball, where the fat idiot managers wear player’s uniforms. Explain to me why that is a good idea). War, disease, Scrabble, arm wrestling, it’s impossible for us to be still, something must always change, everything’s on top of everything else, and everything’s moving. Friction is inevitable. No novel is interesting without a central conflict. Some people live in shelters made of plastic tarps and tires along giant sewage drainage ditches. Elementary school teachers insist otherwise, but we are not all the same.
