You are the ghost in the machine

 No matter what machine or system we create, we forget that we are the ghost in the machine. Anyone not on the groundfloor of the project/research/implementation, will immediately begin to try to take it apart, to stress, bend, and break. Many just to understand, and many more for many more reasons.

So let us remember that each of us are microcosms of the larger cosmos, and that very conflict exists in our being. We can then bring more care to our pursuits, and more humor and humility when we unconsciously put the stick in our own wheel.
