We're fed these illusions primarily through TV (which also molds our entire manufactured, distorted view of the world), we work ourselves to death in constant persuit of all this worthless "stuff"... the illusions created by our "need for acceptance" illusion have us hyper-concerned with others' opinions of us, which explains fashion, keeping us spending money on stuff we already have perfectly good instances of (anybody ever heard of "percieved obselescence???"), and also keeps most of us from ever engaging in any truly spontaneous, or heart-felt actions in public (the act normal part).</p><p>That is the general message here... noone is more hopelessly enslaved than he who falsely believes himself to be free. True freedom is spiritual in nature, but doesn't necessarily need to be recognized as such. Wake up, humanity, we were meant for more than this!!</p>roost80Mon, 16 Jun 2008 11:23:18 -0000
