The genie in Aladdin's lamp, is out.

 

Most people want to rest within some limits, in the "space" that remains when they "remove" the boundary that delimits that "space" (and any "space").

But the limit, every limit, is this situation that constitutes what "remains" beyond its "self" as a limit.

So our good people, everyday people, priests, ideologues, theologians, discover at some point that in their supposedly non-negotiable "space" there exists the "demon"-limit, and they also learn that this very "demon" makes their resting place a precarious and volcanic place.

They then try to banish, exorcise, expel this precarious and always mixed element, and start the ideological and theological wars, giving this boundary subtantial names and markings.

The fascist then discovers the "Jew" and the sectarian communist the petty bourgeoisie.

All of them are looking for the inner enemy that disturbs the tranquility of their repose within some imaginary non-boundary place-space.

They would all like the boundaries to exist but not bother them so much, to be far from home, in some undefined remote region, somewhere where people live with blurred boundaries and unclear identities.

However, these "distant ones" appear at some point in the quiet dead homes of the confident people, and that's when the "holy fight" of the confident people begins.

I inform them:

The genie in Aladdin's lamp, is out.
