LIFE + One



Life is brutal*. Man is a wonderful but brutal creation. What we create is often brutal. How we act is often brutal. Thankfully not always. There are many sides to the shapes of the things that make us who we are. 

People may find beauty in brutalism as a design statement. But nobody wants to live within a brutal regime - unless you're the ruler or have some powerful role in the regime. Then you're a brute. It's a strange world and brutal remains a strange word. 

Brutal.

Adjective -

Extremely ruthless or cruel.

Crude or unfeeling in manner or speach.

Harsh; unrelenting.

Like life.
