The World is Beneath You

Or at least it should be. You see, the world is wer + alt, from the High Germanic, meaning 'the age of man'. But there is no 'man', there is only the animal and its habitat. Thus, the world is a delusion and man the 'deluded animal'. How do I know this. Well, the hills tell me every time I go into them. They tell me that the word 'delude' itself which derives from Latin de (to one's detriment, down) + ludere (to play) is to play like an infant and invite distraction into your living. This is why man is mad, because, like the infant, he insists on playing when there is serious work, natural aboriginal work, to be done. And if you don't believe me, just look around at man and his tools (the toys): the smartphone (the dummy/security blanket), the dog (the action man/barbie doll), the car (the pram, go-kart), the headphones (the rattle, cot mobile). But you can only realize this up here in the hills, outwith their noise and spell. That the world really is beneath you.
