Bloody Straight Lines

My brother and i had a conversation over lunch today, it was on various things, but the common topic was human's evolution, more mental evolution then biological, though i do know that both are invariably linked.

I came up with the thought i had heard sometime ago from a friend who pointed out an artist- who had noticed that; the world ie nature (not the world WE create) has no straight lines. Nature has only curves. And perhaps this is why we humans now feel so tense, we are surrounded by bloody straight lines. The office, the home, frames, boxes. Straight lines feel like some kind of restriction. In film, straight lines are used in shots and mise-en-scenes to create tension in the scene/shot. This is a film technique and goes way back to the first 'Pycho' the Alfred Hitchcock version. See, that's why he was considered a revolutionary film-maker.

So, with this conversation in my head, i looked around our house and noticed (as if i hadn't noticed it before) that everything was just straight. All of a sudden, in front of my eyes, as if i had somehow disciphered the walls, doors, cupboards- into shapes- all i saw were lines, lines, and lines. All vertical-the most tense of them all. And i almost couldn't stand it, i looked outside, where the trees, leaves, grass all were being blown in the wind, it's curves swaying seemlessly left and right, backwards and forwards. There were no lines outside, only soft curves. The site itself, even for a few seconds, relaxed me.

Later i had to go to work, in a shitty office and there they were again, lines, beeping sound in my ears (because i do market research-suck job) and it was a nightmare. I feel very tense just thinking about it now, ahhh the straightness. Everything with a god damn edge. Framing you, and everything else. And i wonder, how can we humans stand this? How can/could we go through life day to day without noticing all these god damn lines in our environment, making us stress, tense, STRAIGHT, and just live through, without ever craving for curves? For nature? Nature, i am sure gives everyone comfort, a walk on the beach is a good example. But, it's like-how are we so blind we cannot see all the objects and shapes that MAKE us tense in the first place? Yet, we keep designing things that are straight?

Now that i have had one day of actually noticing this nightmare, i am afraid that it will persist, i know i have a lifetime of straight lines ahead of me, and i would rather be ignorant of seeing them then always seeing them, for i really don't want my life to be a nightmare.
