I exist only as a voice

Every piece of art; a novel, a painting, a song, a film; are all narcissistic in themselves. They exist as a manifestation of the author's opinion, to lure unsuspecting victims into their pack. Like what I am doing right now. Do you feel threatened? You should. Because I become a literary autocrat. Reflexively, telling you 'you should' is a rigid command that limits the reader into the space I provide them with. I provide a threatening setting, and your space is to go along, or to feel un-threatened. In reading what I write, you instantly become within a space I constructed, and that in itself, is threatening.
It's normal, because in a whole life and in the whole world, nothing can exist without a constructed space. Being mere humans, it is imperative that things are in categories. Without them, we have nothing to live for, or under, as in under a heading. We all live in constructions of reality.
