It’s like a can of worms, once opened, can never be put back.
Yet, that’s what makes us human: from A to B, we insist that a straight line is not the shortest. We have to factor in free will.
Even God respects that (by not forcing us to move quickly through Foxconn-like assembly line).
Our current network has also been designed that way: cache, redundancy, self-healing and load-balancing just to process data from point A to point B.
Our neuro-plasticity performs millions of calculation in milliseconds. “If you can read my mind”, “you won’t read that novel again because the ending is too hard to take”. Most recent finding tells us that we change more than we would admit (evolution in personalities). NYT 01-04-2013.
Seek those who bring the best version out of us.
Schools have done us disservice. Instead of ” edu-care” (bring out of us that which were already there), they try to put in and force fit the curriculum (which purportedly were carefully and thoughtfully designed by those who themselves had been force-fed).
Hence, we perpetuate and produce a planned society of “cogs” in the wheel whose heads are full of doctrine and dogma (stove pipes). No wonder we have problems communicating.
When something is introduced into the “system” (such as Free Will) with no scripted response, chaos and confusion are inevitable.
Like it or not, we are all in perpetual motion, but mostly in maintenance mode. Like an automobile, with engine revving and wheels churning, but is all jacked up, hence staying put.
Frustration leads to lack of confidence and enthusiasm.
Lack of enthusiasm and lack of passion give way to compliance. Dead men walking.
The build-up that eventually blows up.
Those who plan well factor this into the system. Controlled release.
Call it vacation, sabbath. Whatever. But in a grandeur scale, individuals and institutions need periodical audit. How are we doing? Making any progress?
You look pale. Where is the fire? the light in your eyes. What has put it out?
“If it makes you happy, why the hell are you so sad?”
Get off the line. Go off grid. Go native. Go nature. Go free.
At the very least, be Live Man Walking, and not Dead Man Walking.
Do us and yourself a favor. Let not the build up blow you up. Man’s free will and God‘s (or Government’s) pre-determination. A tug of war for the soul, survivingg and not stifling.
