#Personhood

Corporate personhood is the legal sleight of hand that grants rights and duties to an assembly of bricks and spreadsheets, scattering human accountability to the winds. Wielding the shield of limited liability, it revels in a freedom almost entirely unbound by its own deeds. Revered in boardrooms and courtrooms alike, its true nature is that of a phantom born of contracts and profit. Truly, it is a masquerade in which the shadow in the law’s mirror performs the grand illusion called “personhood.”

Personhood is the mocking mirror that blurs the boundary between self and other while denying its own infinite potential. It stars in the grand spectacle of social norms, viewing individual egos lovingly from within their gilded cages. Responding to the demand to prove its essence, it remains a poor sovereign begging for others' approval. Simultaneously everything and nothing, it is the kaleidoscope of self-awareness. Ultimately, personhood is but a hollow image reflected in the gaze of another.
