Think about this. You have a slew of blank paper in your printer and none of them has a clue why. Perhaps the top sheet is a leader, gregarious, popular with the others.
Suddenly a human hits a button and that paper is SUCKED into the printer. After some excruciating seconds it emerges out the other end covered with pictures, symbols, and weird marks in color and black and white.
Its entire identity has changed; it has lost contact with the others as blank sheets. One by one they slide in and their whole world changes. They are unrecognizable to each other, placed in some strange order that is supposed to make sense.
If the human prints on both sides the anxiety and confusion only increases. You have an emotionally damaged, unbalanced series of sheets carrying the entire responsibility of communicating your thoughts and imagination.
The cruelty here is palpable. Somewhere there must be a support group or organization campaigning for saving blank sheets in their original pure form.
Scribbling on napkins? Please. Let's not misplace priorities.
