Oceanus Operon

Sometimes simplicity is a good thing.
I have a tendency to try to understand the whole picture. I try to keep the entire pattern of something in my mind so that I can truly perceive it. I used to believe that understanding something in its entirety would allow you to explore a deeper meaning to it. Sometimes it does. Other times... that greater understanding removes all meaning, sterilizing away the delusions you'd constructed about it. Such occasions.... hurt... and I'm not sure if they ever stop hurting. All pains come and go... some fade into nothingness, others have the ability to open up fresh wounds whenever they throb back into awareness. 
Ah, the ocean. It's beautiful. If you don't try to understand it too much, it might seem magical. A vast matrix infused with the forces of nature and the power of creation.
Yet.... what we are doing to it.... is wrong. All morality is subjective, but only a madman believes that the destruction of something beautiful is a good thing.

Alas, I'm not here to discuss terrible truths with you... this is a fractal. Made of mathematics. It has meanings to me, but they are my own delusions. Perhaps it will have a meaning for you. Part of me hopes so. Part of me really hopes you like this design. The other part ..... it's what gave me the power to create this..... and even though it brings me eternal torment, it's what I chose to be.
I often wonder if I am mad... or if everyone knows what I've learned and just chooses not to think about it. Perhaps it does not matter. Perhaps it is better to dwell in simplicity. Perhaps it is better to simply be, and never ask why. If the ocean could talk, I wonder what it would say on this matter.
