The Therapy Zone
It
means what it is, perhaps the most profound words spoken by Number 6, it means
what it is, but what is it exactly? A Church door? Well only because that was a
suggestion put forward by one of the members of the Awards Committee and Number
6 agreed. The other piece of the same geometric lines but rather more abstract,
what’s that? Well it’s how you look at it, represents freedom or a barrier. The
barrier’s down, the door is open and one is free to go, free to escape to the
symbol of aspirations, freedom, knowledge, escape.........a pole! That’s all
very well of course, but why the cross piece? Well all the pole would be, is a
pole without the crosspiece! But is that what Number 6 aspires to, to escape to
freedom through knowledge? It’s as Number 6 said, if he knew where he was
sailing from, he could calculate where he was sailing to. But the knowledge he
gained didn’t get him very far, because it was bogus. Number 6 was too
trusting, too keen to believe, such is his desperation for freedom and escape!
