I am thinking... freedom is a complete illusion altogether. Unless one finds it in the Buddhist sense. Or the other extreme would be to be a psychopath. But in general... Life seems to largely consist of demands from the outside and of actions that we think we decide ourselves but in fact they are a result of our being manipulated or of peer pressure. Like ironing the clothes (what the hell is that good for? How many millions of tons of CO2 and exhaust are blown into the air for...well...for what?). Like mowing the lawn (same, same). Like cleaning the windows, shaving the legs (a nice article here - it is all business), etc. Gene Roddenberry allegedly said TV was invented to manipulate women. If we count the number of plastic bottles full of obnoxious chemicals in the average bathroom...well... looks like that was the most dramatically succesfull marketing scheme ever!
Sigh.
I am looking out of the window, and five airplanes are trailing across the blue, blue sky... Not even airplanes are free. Freedom was lost on this planet. Except for a few Penguins in Antarctica...
Nothing of this is overly new, is it? Nothing of this is overly creative.
I suddenly feel the big burden of failure on my shoulders again. I suddenly have the intense feeling, the whole series of projects I am working on is prone to fail. And I, once again, will have totally wasted my time and effort. Who cares about the lonely thinkers of this world. Who cares about finding solutions to real problems? Who in the world of power and business?
