Imagine an exit in nature. Where can one find a passage from an "inside" space to an "outside" space? With one scene of nature seamlessly flowing into another, it should be difficult to find something as clearly defined as an exit. Yet, people have constructed the idea that places should have exits, and that walls should be built between what is "inside" and what is "outside." Now, with a defined inside and outside, people have been able to force upon nature the concept of an exit.
"Exit" implies a sense of escape. If one does not like the space inside, he or she may take the exit to an alternative space. However, this purpose for an exit is somewhat ironic because the reason an exit could be made is because the inside space is an escape from the outside space, or nature. Therefore, with both sides acting as an escape, there results a situation in which neither inside nor outside is an escape at all; the construction of an exit implies that one wishes to escape, yet both sides of the exit are places that one wishes to escape from. Consequently, the exit does not aid in escaping from either standpoint. I note this contradiction to reveal how ridiculousness of the "exit" when applied to nature. Yet, humans assume the exit is natural, maintaining it as a requirement of construction.
