Description

Even a ruler dances a dance in which (s)he is not allowed to step on toes. Moreover, it is precisely a leader who has to take into account so many factors, that his or her life is controlled by both the agenda, and the constantly emerging dynamics. It’s impossible to get more freedom than someone who has made himself redundant. And who is that, a monk, a tramp? But even they’re still the slaves of the machinery that forms their bodies, neat dynamic systems with periodic swarm-like properties in which every now and then on the basis of countless (metabolic) iterations hunger, thirst, desire, fear, itching and pain arise, which forces its “owners” to handle (satisfy).
