Historical Role

The amoral beauty of a truth that carries no near gain - the baring of being's foundational meanings. The breaking of stale attachments in favor of new experience. Choosing not the well-worn road where certain, near profit waits, but whatever the heart is drawn toward.

Fundamental, perfected ideas and forms - those that draw the widest response and direct the existence of the masses. Life is built on system and plan, and nothing is left incomplete.

Life is taken lightly and on the move. Plans and routines are dropped the moment circumstances shift, cunning counts as real cleverness, and heroic pathos draws only a shrug. They find their way through the small, funny and shameful corners of everyday life, keeping their real feelings to themselves.

The familiar world, held together by the traditions of its business ties and its close-kin bonds. Work and duty come first, and obligations to others are carried as one's own.
