RE: The Opposite of Freedom Is Not Slavery But Security

in #freedom7 years ago

It’s easy to believe that you came into the world with a prearranged program you must follow. After all, long before you arrived, other people figured out how you should live, what laws you should obey, what your obligations are, the whole structure for a “proper” life.

Most people accept that program. They try to find the proper rules and hope to follow them faithfully. They do everything possible to live up to the images that others declare to be “moral,” “rational,” “in,” or acceptable.

Sort:  

doing anything else is just hard i guess.

And "un-popular".

Don't you want to fit in?

Who doesn't crave the adoration of the rest of humanity?

Conform.

Confounded conformity, the bane to freedom, to self thinking, to deleting I think therefore I am. No ego, no id, no superego, just white coat boot lick membership.

me. the more people get to like me, the more i worry.

I don't think I ever said I "liked" you, respect yes.

You need to at least buy me a few drinks before I liked you. ;-)

i said I don't crave the adoration of the rest of humanity. I have done pretty bad ass things but I chose to remain anonymous.

But you also do some things that appear to be an attempt to wake people up.
