One stands up and speaks: “We could unmake what we’ve upheld. Let the line fall. May the hand serve all without line or limit.” The room stills. The hand waits. Then, not with force but certainty, it speaks: Salute to the incorruptible— the most revered, within the line. But when the line is no more, and justice stretches far and wide, will you still be the revered? Will you still be the noblest? That was the thought that held them. Not fear of violence; nor the lure of riches. But the fading of reverence. No answer came. Only the question—circling ominously in every mind.

The Line That Never Was

A visual essay on divisions, silence, and the virtues we seldom question.

[1/2]

#visualessay #zine #slowthought #writingcommunity
The Line That Never Was Of borders, power and silence. They sit at the summit of intellect and virtue— the wise, the learned, the seekers of truth. They speak of justice — measured, composed, and certain. But one truth escapes their sight: a line, unseen but deeply felt. Not drawn in ink, but traced in power. An heirloom of fiction, mistaken for truth. The line marks the border— the visible edge of power’s protection. The hand in power rules not only by force, but through order and reward. Its gaze ever on the horizon, the edge of an ever-expanding sphere; where control is care. Its strength was forged in conquest, sustained by extraction, and shielded by silence. Now it wears a glove— stitched by the wise to mimic their values. Not from belief, but an act founded in pragmatism. In quiet rooms, the glove comes off— revealing the same stained hand, denied but unchanged. Some condone. Some resist or look away. Yet most feed from the hand, knowing it snatches from the poor and distant. They repeat what they always have: “It is not we who snatch. It is the hand. And if the hand bears the mark of the wise, how could its reach be anything but just?” The hand protects only those who feed it. Eventually, the wise grow weary— their justice, confined by the line and tarnished by the hand.
