After the natural drama of my brothers’ departure for Canada, I have found myself possessing an entire room. A room! I now have a room I can call my own! You see, we are mostly a communal family and this goes along with the property relations that govern the hose hold. With this new found “independent” territory I inherited, I am a step closer in forming my own imaginative state! I always wanted to have this sort of independent space and now I have it. Thinking in a political framework, I know have a territory (my room), I now have a “people” (myself), I also have sovereignty over the properties herein. One thing missing on constitute a state is a government. The best way to express this home “government” is the institution of rules inside my small state. For the meantime, my basic law constitutes 5 basic policies. These are:
- 1. Clean As You Go
- 2. Conserve Energy
- 3. Be Productive
- 4. Sharpen your Mind and Body
- 5. Pray Always
There you have it. My childish mind coupled with a fantasy of governing a state finds its expression in my little room. I can now begin to order it in a manner that reflects my values and principles. This little experiment has highlighted that order and prosperity is a derivative of private ownership.
