“We teach the truth of none of the legends we recite. They are to us but parables and allegories, involving and enveloping.. instruction; and vehicles of useful and interesting information. They represent the different phases of the human mind, its efforts and struggles to comprehend nature, God, the government of the Universe, the permitted existence of sorrow and evil. To teach us wisdom, and the folly of endeavoring to explain to ourselves that which we are not capable of understanding..” (Ibid, p.329). Albert Pike

What is an individual?

February 21, 2012

 

“The greater a man’s talents, the greater his power to lead astray. It is better that one should suffer than that many should be corrupted. Consider the matter dispassionately, Mr. Foster, and you will see that no offense is so heinous as unorthodoxy of behavior. Murder kills only the individual-and, after all, what is an individual?”

- Aldous Huxley, Brave New World, Ch. 10

Don’t you see…

“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought?… Has it ever occurred to your, Winston, that by the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now?… The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact, there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinking-not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.”    

-George Orwell, 1984, Book 1, Chapter 5

Misery Loves Company….

So my advice to you, is to take a picture of yourself in anguish and then duplicate it.  This way your not all alone in your miserable state.  Trust me.  I bet my duplicates are helping you feel better already.

                     Mahatma Gandhi once said,

                                         “First they ignore you,

                                                                                     then they laughat you,

                                                                                                          then they FIGHT you,

                                                                                           then you win”.<3 <3
