Beginning

Meta-perspective

In all our endeavors, we must remain ever cognizant that nature invariably holds precedence — she prevails eternally! Should we alter our constitutive parameters, we render ourselves prey to abstract predators that stalk within us. Irrespective of how our inner habitat transforms, it shall forfeit its grace. ​

I forgo entirely the reiteration of what you already know, having found your way here. Countless excellent websites and contributions exist — not only on substances, but on dependency in general. I contribute solely what, in my estimation, constitutes a distinct, guiding perspective. Hence, I intentionally employ concise language, neither debating nor disputing other approaches; I neither criticize nor provoke — but rather suggest or awaken, contingent upon the reader. Nature herself depends upon our judicious stewardship of resources. Thus, I eschew redundancies and tautologies wherever possible, directing attention to the digital cosmos that already holds these answers, and I shall endeavor not to misuse social media — as is commonplace today — with the superfluous, the senseless, or the futile. This very beginning reveals where dependency may commence or conclude: at the origin, in nature, or in the nature of things themselves.

For me, dependency constitutes no individual fate whose symptoms might be alleviated or cured. It is, rather, a tragic attribute — and by now, a deliberate method — of our society, rendered integrable.

This metaperspective enables targeted interventions, centered upon self-responsibility for the symptoms themselves. ​
