"Free will cannot be debated, but only experienced like a colour or the taste of potatoes." My question: can we really experience it? In a world in which everybody talks of nothing else than Democracy, is our wolrd slightly democratic? Have we really come a long way through History? Or are we just repeating the same mistakes all over, just changing the pattern of them? " We go on discovering that we are this, that and other things and sometimes we have astounding experiences. We are unfinished, we are growing and changing. Yet that future personality which we are to be in a year's timeis already there, only it is in the shadow. These potentialities naturally belong to the dark side of the ego. We are all aware of what we have been, but we are not aware of what we are going to be." But do we really change and improve or we are just the same all over? " In point of fact what is interesting about people is the mask that each one of them wears, not the reality that lies behind the mask. It is a humiliating confession, but we are all of us made out of the same stuff. Where we differ from each other is purely accidental:in dress, manner, tone of voice, religious opinions, personal appearance, tucks of the habit and the like. The more one analyses people, the more all reasons for analysis disappear. Sooner or later one comes to the dreadful unioversal thing called Human Nature." For two thousand years or more man has been subjected to a systematic effort to transform him into an ascetic animal. He remains a pleasure seeking animal. And some are pleasure seeking animals at any cost. Cheating, robbing, killing is nothing that a mean to achieve it. The biggest the Corporation, the more polithically involved, the more cheating and crooking. Look at the Politicians of today, at the big Monopoly corporations... When will we wake up? They try to shut our mouths and minds with any kind of stupid fullfilling devices, but still keeping the hand ( and the profit) in it. Once they said man built his own pleasures, now they say he has to pay for them. They also say it takes gut to be a dreamer and a visionary, I think on the contrary it comes naturally, either you are or you are not. Either you see reality or you see what they want you to see. The economy of means is founded on the richness of thought. I have just started my personal peaceful war and I am looking for people who can share my dreams. Short live the Telecom monopoly! http://www.worldonip.com/community |
