Quote 1.
The goatherd evinces an orientation to the world that is dominant in this time, one founded in a distrust of the unfamiliar and the inclination to dismiss or discipline anything that threatens some notion of order or appropriateness.
Response
I relate this quote to how humans, in a society, react to anything new or unheard of. If an entity decides to dip their feet in unknown water of thought or even any physicality, they are made to abruptly halt all affiliating notions and concepts pertaining to the topic, even forcefully, if they decide to object. I think it threatens their principles or values and are afraid of the change a piece of information can bring to their minds.
Quote 2.
Our life is not merely shaped by the people we know. Such individuals may be an even more intimate part of our days than those we consider to be close friends.
Response.
I quite believe the above statement to be true.Every time I walk through a park, near my house, that leads me to the mess, my surroundings are something I don't really register and try, to consciously remember. But the second even a spider's web goes missing or a new graffiti is added, to one of the whitewashed walls, I instantly notice something being wrong. Like a missing piece from a jigsaw puzzle.
Quote 3.
A street is not a road. True, they are synonymous. But 'street' evokes much more. Road connects points to a space.\
Response.
In my opinion, the above statement rings quite true to my thoughts. I think of a street as a lively, well integrated space with a lot of movement, chaos and human connection. Roads remind me more of high rises, no hawkers and clean wide roads with not a soul to be seen, thus, no human contact or the hustle and bustle a street gives you.
