I have been... on more funerals than weddings... Walking alive on the ground of a cemetery is an odd feeling, considering that under the same ground lie the people who past away. I get a cold shower, every time I'm visiting my ancestors by this dead silence. But I'm aware we have a reason to build these spaces: To honour and remember the dead people.
I wondered about another kind of cemetery: a graveyard of ideas... To honour the ones that didn't make it. Imagine we walked alive on that ground, in dead silence, and could read what the gravestones of the ideas say. We would pretty much see the same all over again. "Killed by words of ridicule", "He has been told it's impossible", "The last words she heard were 'You cannot do THAT' ". Or murdered by the undertakers' champion: Doubts. A lot of ideas died straight after birth or before their reached the puberty.
I wondered ... how this world would look like if we weren't so barbarian-brutal. And instead foster the ideas like gardeners their plants. So that we can have more weddings of ideas than funerals and create a space where ideas ... have babies.
