The sheep are food clothing and shelter for those like Edward Bernays who can buy and sell their minds like the elite. The elite are also a source of food clothing and shelter to the sheep who borrow themselves to death.
Through this mutual exploitation the elite take the greed, and hope and use it as a controling force to extract labor. We have been over this concept to death lately.
I spent time reading for the past 9 days and I realized that I still have that human weakness of hope within me that someday there can be some redeeming quality that will one day save the earth. I am also dead wrong. Whether I want this to occur openly or inwardly does not matter. This is a weakness which means that I am also vulnerable to induction. I have meditated in the past week and found that that hope and anger always translates into the 'WHY'.
As a child you beg for it. When afflicted you scream it in anger and in despair. The question of 'why' is a poison upon the lips of all men.
I have been down the rabbit hole and I have seen no less than what always was. The sheep are still sheep, and the shephards are still waiting ready for the slaughter. The world is little more than an abattoir for those who bear the defects and instabilities inherent to passionate emotions.
I had once had hopes for those who had love in their hearts, but love is a product of conditional exchange. Embargos lead to divorce, stop giving and where is the love?
I also had hopes for hatred, yet still anger is a flaw that leads to pride and overconfidence. We all know where it leads. Exploitation and slaughter are temporary means of power by brute force that lead only to an arms race. Violence is repugnant to the powers that be, it is little more than a tool for increased leverage like the pulley.
I had toyed with apathy, yet it eluded me. Unfortunately ambition is greed. That is what Buddah would teach anyone though. Is ambitionless success possible? Can you have happiness without success and achievement at all? Would a permanent vacation even exist in the current world were it not for the struggle to become independent of the system by wealth?
So other than apathy there really is only love and hatred essentially. If the wages of emotion are induction, the wages of apathy are the merest of survival. How must I do more than survive without ambition? How must I protect myself from that manipulation while still retaining emotion? Is common sense really enough? Is this why the greatest of minds lived alone?
Maybe this time I intend to leave you with more questions than awnsers purposefully. I actually want you to question what brought you here to this blog. We all knowingly accept that you wouldn't have come here if it weren't for Hives, so what kept you here?
I am at the point where I have to look within. To change my world I must first bend my mind. The insights I have gained have not brought me further than this one single fork in the road.
