The Grid

The Grid I am a single line connecting at an intersecting point with many other lines These lines that I am a part of form a massive grid that represents humanity We are all a unified force here on this intersecting plane and we are all decidedly equal There is no more importance given to one line over another just as I am simply another line However humanity likes to seek extraordinary in ordinary so some lines become bold We grant boldness to those of importance to our every day lives while some lines simply become italic The bonds forged through heredity and social interaction form the foundation of the grid They form neat little squares that we surround with those who matter and as more lines are created so to are squares Disconnected we are simply fragile lines existing in confusion but connected we form the strengthened grid A unification of ideas and religion and values that differ from line to line are afforded the chance to mingle together The intersections where lines meet aren't always very friendly but these intersections are vital For without intersections there would be no connection and without connection we would have anarchy Thus while I am simply another line on this grid of humanity I help provide unifying intersections
