An Orwellian Conception As long as they see what you assume they see, and they agree, then, that’ll be the reality we’ll assume you want to live in. If this makes sense, then be at peace among friends. You can sleep innocently; no-one will mete out punishment! The past can’t be erased, but we can mitigate the consequences. There'll be no misunderstanding unless you fail to define yourself, without definition, we’d disagree and that would be unfortunate; Co-operate so others will live, deep sleep is wonderful. We (your brothers and sisters) are watching everywhere you tread (There is no umbrella of protection for a protagonist). Our duty and purpose is to ensure survival of our genes; So follow the rules and be rewarded with peaceful sleep. “I am a sojourner pilgrimaging in a foreign land; When my name is drawn, I will step aside and let others go on.”
