Give a person a headache by telling him to walk down a straight road five miles on a hot afternoon.
Because of all the straight lines in North America nothing looks natural. The roads traveling through the environment look decidedly unnatural except where the straight lines have been ignored and the benefits of curvilinear land contours and topographies maximized. Rivers mean nothing to the linear thinking planners who bull doze over them with abandon. That people dislike all the linear boxes called homes is forgotten.
At one extreme, numbering systems on this continent are absurdly complicated and overly large numbers applied to homes. In many cases, houses have five digit numbers, which is absurd in a community that is supposed to talk to each other. It's crazy to expect people to remember five digits. There is an odd detachment from what is artistic and beautiful to what is absurdly ugly and ridiculous. North America linear systems tend to be absurdly ridiculous and silly. They are out of place in what otherwise could be a pretty wonderful habitat.
Will ye no think kindly on those who would be your friends! May the sun shine with your thoughts, today, and happiness grow in your heart! May you allow yourself some peace of mind.
