ego is injustice
and ego-types
are characterised by
characteristic injustices
which might be assigned
characteristic colors
on the Tree of Life
and adolescence
transforms the childish ego
(oriented towards parents,
siblings and playmates)
into an adult ego
with more-or-less adult
accountability
childbranchcolor breaking up
adultbranchcolor breaking thru
and the emotional extremes
of adolescence
are due in part
(or mainly)
to western society's incompetence
in modeling justice
so that every teen has to improvise
their own justice
their own anger
in their own ego
i praised the movie 'clueless'
for breaking new ground
in modeling compassionate solutions
to stereotypic teen angsts
and i await a teen tolstoy
writing the great teen novel
(presumably as an adult)
unknotting western teen angst
its egos and injustices
for good
