GrandMa

The Law of GrandMa

Men are not magicians. They must work to live in their environment and to lead this dance, they have enacted rules.
These rules are not born of the day. Initiated with the mammoth hunt, they stayed for long merely oral and based on usage. Sedentarization made them laws and then enacted and managed by authorities.
Epoch after epoch, they never ceased to reform themselves to stay in accordance with their time. And that's how multi-centennial grandmothers that have been many times refurbished and relooked have gone through the centuries to reach us.
Hence, of all these rules that govern our daily life, no one really knows the real origin. We can say somehow that the law is like GrandMa. Nobody saw her born but she has always been there. She is authoritative because of its old age.

Weak Sight

Nothing in this world is perfect, so how to require it from a set of rules ?
The law of GrandMa has always succeeded to embody, for a majority of the population or its representatives, the way of progress, civilization and hope. Even if she has always left some individuals aside, we are asked to stay confident. It will eventually triumph one day and therefore involve everyone.
Today as yesterday, harnessed to her business, GrandMa plows her meadow without raising her eyes. Yet we must tell her that beyond her backyard a condition has changed.

Yes, Earth has changed its face. It's over for a planet with inexhaustible resources. It is no longer this huge playground whose boundaries were pushed back every day. No more blank space. You have to jostle for each new conquest.
If formerly you needed one day to reach the borders of a county, now it does not take more to reach any point of the globe. Moreover with emergence of E.T.(Electronic Technology) a message can instantly go round the world.
We must look at the Earth through the prism of the big village. Indeed, you can immediately access whatever happens in the smallest hamlet and any good, wherever it comes from, is exchanged in a few days at most.
The Queen of the village is GrandMa. Her rules determine the pulse and the breathing of the whole village.

Dance in the village

We would like everyone to take part to the dance and that no villager feels excluded. How to make everyone move ?
The choreography directed by GrandMa is well-known but its recent adjustments have made it still more demanding and sometimes even impossible to hold. When a dance is like a whirlwind, difficult to discern how, where and when to join the circle. To make the party a success, nobody would have to stay away. Would not it be an opportunity to imagine a new dance step ?

First, there should be a basic movement that no one could escape. Then we should codify some rules so that all kind of counterchains, variations and figures may superimpose to the initial round dance. All these fantasies would be left to the initiative of the dancers whover they are, experienced, reckless or facetious. That would give nice attractiveness to this choreography whose basics would be accessible to all.

Hey GrandMa, without wishing to step on your toes, would you tolerate we try to lay the foundations for such a ballet ?
