I was watching this movie called "One Giant Leap" with my friends the other day, and i felt as if someone took my own thoughts from the past 10 or 15 years and put them on a roll of film. It's allways nice to hear and see your own thoughts and ideas being so perfectly and punctually explained.
Nothing new to me but watching this movie brought a great sense of joy and satisfaction, accomplishment, reassurance. Someone knew the truth and had the means to convey it upon more and more people.
The education is starting. We are getting civilized at last. No one can stop the human being from thinking! It happened once before also... with a movie called Waking Life.
Sometimes i come to these points through conversation with my friends but we rarely manage to reach this level of relevance. Usually when i tried to convey my thoughts i would get a response like "You're living in faerytale land. Stop being naive... stop dreaming, wake up." ... it's not a point if the person i was having the conversation with agreed with me or not - they would allways (well, allmost allways, and i consider that being very lucky) end the conversation with a conclusion like "You have to start thinking practically, people have no time for dreams nowdays, you have to come down to earth and think about yourself... make some money... don't be so soft and naive, don't think about what's right and good all the time..." and similar statements.
I remember my ex-girlfriend once told me that i got to step on people in order to climb and get what i want. Allthough she understood me and wanted the exact same things she was taught by life itself that you got to be mean to people if you want their respect.
But what she (and all those other people who learned one way or another that you have to be evil in order to succeed and achieve your goals) didn't or wouldn't understand is that you teach others just the way someone taught you.
If you're lucky, you will escape this machine, this system of education or mis-education.... counter-education, and you will think for yourself. You will not just "be practical" when you're exactly the oposite of that. You will not think about gaining more power relentlessly threading on other people. You will not teach others to work against each other as if they simply CAN'T WORK TOGETHER. Simply because all the things we do, we do them out of need for something better than we allready have, something we need, or think we need. That's not an individual thing.
You're not the first man in the history of mankind who wanted to eat good food and be healthy, breathe clean air, not worry about getting shot or poisoned by radiation. You're not the first man who wants to raise his children and see them play happily with other children. These are all mutual goals. The last thing we need to do in order to achieve our goals is fight against each other. The last thing we need to teach each other is not to trust anyone, which is "common knowledge" nowdays. Why are we so good at teaching each other destruction and deceit?
If i subtract from your "belongings" and add to mine, i will get much less then if we multiply our efforts and split the benefits in two. A simple calculation leads to reason. You just have to disregard what the world has "taught" you, or what has been forced upon your mind, and start thinking for yourself. It's not an easy thing to do. I struggle with it every day, but it's a worthy struggle and it brings me great joy whenever i win a fight against my "dark side".
Just by living you are obviously trying to make things better for yourself. That's what we all do, otherwise we would just kill ourselves right now. You just have to forget going through life superficially as if someone else has decided what you will think and know and understand that there's a lot of people who don't want YOU to learn anything at all. They need you to think this way in order for them to satisfy their own greed. It's like a disease, and the ones "at the top" keep spreading it "downwards" on this scale of "power", while all of you who embrace this way of life are bound to end up unhappy and feel empty no matter how much power you accumulate.
So whenever someone asks you Who You Are....
what is your answer?
"A doctor"... "a computer expert".. "stock broker"... "journalist" - that's just what you do.
Sometimes it's just the way you make money because you have to survive.
THAT'S NOT WHO YOU ARE !
You are,
in fact,
a
HUMAN BEING,
and
what YOU DO
is
YOU LIVE!
