Arrogance.. Envy.. Murder.. Treason.. Theft.. Usury..
Adultery.. Gluttony.. Greed.. Avarice.. Vanity.. Lust.. Gossip.. Slander..
Extortion.. Rape.. Cheat.. Lie.. And many other characteristics that are
normally presented by the principle pedagogic institutions (family, school, religion) to show us
exactly the “Wrong” or “Evil” to be placed under the headings ‘Not To Do’ or the ‘Not To
Be’. They are all considered “Villainies”
by which we can classify people, in order to distinguish ‘Good’ from ‘Bad’ and
decide accordingly how or where to place them in our lives.
However, and for some mysterious incomprehensive
reason, we have accepted these very same wrong and evil villainies and have
somehow allowed their legitimate practicing to States.. To Governments.. To
Politicians.. To Artists.. Or whomever may please us. Only to justify our moral
fragility. Or maybe even to convince ourselves ‘Bad’ isn’t that bad; so that
doing a little evil for a greater good is OK! Forgetting that what seem so
little today is destined to grow bigger tomorrow; and shall swallow the Greater
Good we thought it had procured in the first place.
That is the point at which, if some moral vigilance
still reside, we may realise how our fundamental moral values have completely
mutated into their precise opposite. Whereas wrong became right, evil overturned
into good and villainy welcomed as politeness or even kindness.
The moment we’ve accepted and allowed these, by such
indifference as exhibited today and without reservations or resentments, is the
moment to declare the glorious victory of Barbarism and the clamorous defeat of
Humanity.
Let us then align altogether patiently in a fine long
queue to sign in turn the golden book of our unconditional surrender. And don’t
dare to complaint because you’ve traded your fundamental Human
Values for a Tablet and a 3D Dolby Surround Home Theatre.
Forgive me for I have exaggerated.. You’ve traded them
for a miserable 2nd hand 10 pounds cell phone.
Pass On The Word.
