The Thrower and the Stone
By unknown
Notes recorded by the attendee of a lecture given by the Kyamitan orator IreneusThe goal is not to become the thrower of the stone, but rather to be the stone itself. The one who acts indirectly has no control in comparison, no ability to shape the impact to their desires, only to let loose with hope. The stone, by contrast, through its force imparts its mark to history. It may be less remembered than the thrower, yet this is immaterial, for the thrower can be twisted and reformed by others later, or by themselves, while the stone remains as it always was.
