Coincidence

I seriously found the following on a University of Minnesota website:

IV. HUMAN PORCUPINES POP OUR BUBBLES OF ILLUSION

     Some people frequently challenge our security-operations.
If we picture each of us encapsulated in a thin security-bubble,
these professional disillusioners are like human porcupines: 
They destroy all the security-bubbles that come near
including their own.
Everyone within range feels existentially insecurity.                         

     Such bubble-poppers are very intense people; 
they will not allow us to cling to our cultural evasions and escapes;
they undermine our security-operations and pull away our security-blankets.
In the presence of these spiny creatures, we must be serious;
they force us to ask ultimate questions about the meaning of life. 
At first we do not appreciate their bubble-popping function,
unless the eruption of our existential insecurity turns us toward Existential Freedom. 

     Whatever games, techniques, operations, & devices we invent,
these methods will never overcome our existential insecurity. 
The measures effective against ordinary perils and threats
simply do not work when applied to our existential precariousness.


Here is the website:

Something to consider.

with love and affectation affection,
