With reference to 'F!'

This was a small point which struck me as being pertinent enough to be mentioned along with a link to the original post.

Going about an average day running errands, going through medical pit stops et al, one was surprised to find another example of that which leads one to abuse (as per the post linked to above).
As stated then, society has this propensity of lending free layers of mind numbing perfunctoriness and "meaning-corrosive value addition", to anything which becomes relevant and available in the open. Though this statement is aimed more at language for now, it may be seen that it holds for many, many things.

Thus, for something to remain pure, it must, it seems, escape the limelight of social attention; perhaps even be condemned by society itself.
And here is where the connect struck!
Recalling this amazing novel that one unfortunately had to leave mid-way through, they came flying back, the views of the protagonist:
She observed during her initial days at a mental institution, that it was there, that people were truly free to do as they pleased. Unburdened and outside the circle of judgements and the ilk, several inmates actually stayed on even after having been 'cured', just to enjoy the freedoms bestowed upon them, by a society that had all but turned its back on them.

A sordid kind of convenience it was.

But that is where the linkage lies.
To be allowed to be free, one needed to be an outcaste, a pariah.
If that be the case with humans, then why not with one of the very tools that build a civilization - language; speech; expression.

How unfortunate for mankind this...
