To actually get past the Wall is unnatural, unexpected, and uncalled for,
(ergo the teeny number who do so).
Men have given the Wall a multiple of various names; some psychological in nature; some supernatural, others philosophical. To it they attribute a variety of active, restraining characteristics – (repressed traumas; demonic forces; societal dictates), and no matter how they try to resist, the Wall ultimately becomes psychobabbley anthropomorphicized.
Without ever comprehending the nature of the Wall, life drives men to freely describe it. They variously identify its origin in some misstep made by early man; as the consequence of some curse placed on man by the gods; as the result of untoward social behavior and bad psychological habits. But as plainly evident: seven thousand years of such supra noted activity has accomplished nothing regarding the Wall and the obtainment of the Something, (save for those who pretend otherwise). There are no indications of any sort that life disapproves of
how the matter stands.
From easy observation it seems clear that men are supposed to eternally long for a Something that they can never quite reach, and that it be protected by a Wall that no one quite understands. If this is not a set up most apt for producing constant change, (the abiding name of the human game), what is? If any further evidence for this being man’s proper state is needed, simply consider the fact that near a hundred percent of them accept it as such.
(Now on to news only of interest to that fractional few not included.) The Wall is in consciousness as is the Something that everyone longs for and they are both natural to consciousness, but not intended to, by the majority, be understood. (There is no proof that anyone is supposed to understand them. All that can be validly said is that a few are allowed to.)
