Lego Or Block? Love+Hate>Like

Couldn't decide on a title so I used them both. This yet again will be another analogy as countless of my other blogs are and it's going to be about being polarized vs being neutralized. I talked to Baudelaire earlier today and he said he reads some of my stuff and gets mad like "Fuck why didnt i think of that first" (Kanye said it in an interview about some beats/songs/designs he comes across) I often find myself feeling the same way. Sorry to say Baudelaire this might be another one.
*Precursor*
Blocks- We all like blocks, simple, plain, you can build basic structures. But the structures are not sound for their is nothing to hold them together, no adhesive, no nail in the wood. The only thing that keeps the structures together is the weight of each block on top of the other.
Lego's- Love lego's, they come in all shapes and sizes, long ones with one strip of studs, square ones with rows and columns, rectangles you name it. But most importantly the STUDS. That's what makes a lego a lego, take away the studs and its just a block. But we LOVE these studs, they allow us to make extravagant complex structures. Each stud fits snug in a whole so these structures are solid. You can hold a lego structure by one end and the rest will rise with it, you can walk around and show it to everybody. But we HATE these studs. Anybody that's had a stray block on the middle of the ground knows the pain these studs can bring you.......
*End of precursor*

Are you a lego or are you a block? Would you rather be loved and hated or liked by all? If you rather be loved and hated your a lego. If you rather be liked by all your a block. Truth is many people are just blocks. But whats interesting is we all start off as lego's. (This next few sentences are inspired, some so closely you can say quoted, by philosopher Alan Watts) Children are spontaneous and honest. When spontaneous or honest in our favor they are absolutely delightful (example: randomly saying love you, or dancing or singing) When spontaneous or honest against our favor it is wretched (I do not mean Ratched lol). (example: we've all heard a kid be brutally honest and not know it, or randomly knocking something over) So to ensure that they are never wretched we kill the honesty and spontaneity in them to ensure that they are "nice". Parents try to sand down the studs and turn lego's into blocks. Most people become blocks yet others cant help but be themselves and remain lego's.

I would like to think that I am a lego. Everyone should be a lego. Its better to be loved by few and hated by many than to be liked by all. It's a part of life, your going to step on lego's, but to throw away the lego's and rid your life of the beautiful structures you can build just to ensure you never step on one again is mad.
