People and the Unknown..oooo
December 9th 2006 22:22
Yes, people are different and unique. Of course, we are all individuals in the twenty first century. And if we put our minds to it, dream big and reach for those goals, they can become a reality, everyone can do it! Now then child, I say, you're dreaming the wrong way.
It sadly dawned on me... people are not all different and very group-able. You see, there are awakened individuals who have the bigger picture of the world in mind and realise that we're all in this big, entangled life together. Then come the society-minded, brainwashed lovables who make the world go round. They happily perform the chores required of them, providing the goods and services for people to survive. They are the necessary 'do-ers' rather than thinkers. Wait, do not be disheartened, there is yet another bracket if the two offered don't seem to fit you (yes selfish thinker).The 'walkers-on-the-complex-path-towards-awakenment.' The signs you ask? Most of the time these people just need time alone, to think without disturbance and contemplate on matters of the world. It is a solitary, not a lonely task, you're joining the greatest minds in the world, re-thinking their thoughts and trying to figure it all out. Though, once you're in, you're stuck, whether you like it or not, exposure to such thoughts reshape your view of people, events and all that life encompasses. Sometimes, in rare moments of cruel discovery, do you ask, I want to be a fool again!
What about the society minded, whom I called fools? Its not a bad place to be. They are the majority home owners and fall most often into the financially secure group. (Only the rare awakened ones get rich and stuck with too much money.) They are happy going to work every weekday, knowing that they're working towards something bigger and better. Providing for their families, good sturdy shelter.
They all have their flaws. The awakened are prone to superiority, and aloofness, then they are of course, not truly awakened. The attained of awakenment is just as difficult as enlightenment in Buddhism, the difference is it applies to today and for more ordinary humans, it is a step lower.
The society-minded however are the most annoying. Greed is a horrible emotion, easiest for those in this bracket to succumb to, money generates greed, they earn the most money. They buy excessively, always wanting more, they aren't generous and care little for the wider global community. They are not for obliterating poverty, not too concerned about climate change and are most influenced by political propaganda. They are the majority.
Most of them are sweet, decent and good people, just afraid of the unknown. Of exploring the minds of great thinkers, of being challenged by James Joyce or a great work of art. It really is subjective, you get from art what you give, there lies its beauty, forever universal, forever relevant. There is no danger in the unknown, its fun!
