I spent years fighting structure. Schools. Jobs. Society's endless boxes. All of it felt suffocating. But here's what broke my brain: nature is ALL structure. Atoms. Cells. Seasons. Orbits. Life can't exist without it. So what's the difference? Natural structures support life. Then get out of the way. Trees die. Forests shift. New forms emerge from old ones. Human structures do the opposite. We build them to serve life, then sacrifice life to preserve the structure. Governments murder citizens to stay in power. Religions kill to protect beliefs. Lives destroyed over lines on a map. Our structures won't let themselves die. That's the sickness. Not structure itself — but our refusal to let it evolve. https://vryfokkenou.com/2017/06/08/struggling-with-structure/
