Declaration of Interdependence

We have gathered here today because we find the world to be too cold and we always seem to end up on the bottom of it. In addition, we are patronized by the many birds who soar above us but also threatened by the multitude of bottom dwellers who would love nothing more than to lash out at us from the depths of the sea. We find ourselves unable to cope with these two groups because the stupidity of the masses below us serve as an immovable iceberg on our path toward happiness and the power of the elites above us serve as an unstoppable blizzard pushing us back. We find ourselves on thin ice as the once huge and expansive habitat in which we once lived slowly melts away.

Because of these two influences, it is impossible for us to change the world as it is now. Greed and corruption run rampant and there is nothing that sensible folk like us can do about it. Therefore, we propose to isolate ourselves from this world, to form a better, albeit smaller world. We also wish to make our world so that a someone considered Little can still stand in the presence of a King or Emperor and be considered equals. Just as one cannot possibly prosper alone in this world, one cannot possibly carry out our plan alone and so we will all go together as one, act together as one and remain an island in a sea of evil and corruption washing onto our shores.

We form our society based upon the habits of the noble penguin. Isolated from the world, they live free from the horrible things that the rest of the world must endure through. They often face the full wrath of Mother Nature herself and only together, through cooperation, are they able to brave the storm that blows upon them. The simple black and white pattern adorned on each penguin teaches us to be humble and to treat each other with equality. And so, to escape the unchangeable, frozen and vile world we live in, we, the founders of Pwaddle seek a new land for our new world to begin. A utopia based on equality and cooperation free from external forces.

  1. I like the analogy between penguins and people, but I'm somewhat confused as to whether the citizens are actually people or penguins...

  2. I LOVE PENGUINS, so you really scored high points with me. I thought your blog was very organized and well put together. Everything is in place and everything is very simple. I love the idea that you based this society on penguins and it's natures. I love your little penguin puns Vincent. It is very very cute.

    I agree with the person above. Are the citizens penguins or people? Either way though, VERY COOL. I <3 Penguins.

  3. I like what you're trying to set out to do, change the world one city at a time. It's almost like you're trying to explain that your city is free of all kinds of harmful and hated emotions.

  4. The layout and graphics make the utopian fun and the analogy made works great with your concept. However , I recomment formal language to be used for any official posts.
