Chains

If you've known me for several years you know that I have a very strange affinity for metal chains.  Few people in my life really understand them so I thought I would take an opportunity to explain them...

It's not well known that I am huge into symbolism.  Many things in my life exist for a very symbolic and specific purpose.  Few people notice them and even fewer ask about them.  Most people are familiar with common symbols.  I wear a wedding ring on my left hand to symbolize the commitment I made to my wife.  I wear an Ithacus ring on my right hand that symbolizes my commitment to GOD.  At various times in my life some may have noticed I will wear chains.  There is a reason for this as well.

These simple chains mean something to me.  They are always on my right, being that I am right handed I symbolize the right side of my body as the one that use to I interact with the world.  By putting chains on my right hand and right foot it servers as a reminder that I must be restrained with the world.  My last blog post was an expression of my frustration with the weakness of human beings.  I am finding more and more on the other side of my great social experiment there were many things in my old life that were there for a reason.  For this reason I started wearing my chains again, to help me remember that my thoughts, words, emotions, etc are dangerous, and must be restrained...
