invocation
Invocation is the grand event of hoisting repressed consciousness from oblivion and brandishing attention or emotion with enthusiasm that may as well be insincere. Genuine comprehension or change comes second; so long as fervent words stir the crowd, all is deemed well. Participants rarely acknowledge that they are merely circling the same question ad nauseam. In the end, it is nothing but a tool for imposing one’s will on others to claim a trophy of self-satisfaction.
