We could just be a chance in chaos. A blip, in the bigger scheme of things. Yet we put in so much effort to make. We make and break and make again. Beyond the constructions of social information, we yearn to go back to that fundamental block of our existence. Our need to make. We make beds, we make trains, we make art, we make collective imaginations. And we keep trying to find meaning in all of it. Maybe to know oneself, is to make. It is easy to sit idle. Or is it?
