Terrorism
The world today is threatened by an insidious evil. An enormous machine intent on causing fear and terror in every man. It's goal? To force you to do what it wants. To become a slave.
But this is not the terrorism of a desperate and sad man strapping a bomb to himself and destroying a bus. It's not the terrorism of figures in balaclavas holding rifles in front of flags painted on sheets, nor is it the terrorism of box cutters, aeroplanes and tall buildings. These are side shows, diversions. Secondary effects of the primary cause.
The terrorism that threatens to destroy us is the terrorism of CNN, of Fox news, of the BBC and all the newspapers telling you to BE AFRAID and to STAY VIGILANT oh, and while you're at it BUY THIS. It's the terrorism of advertising billboards, insisting that you will be left behind if you don't have the biggest, the best, the brightest. The terrorism of "Because I'm the boss" "Listen to your teacher" "Stop! Police!"
The terrorism of the EGO. The Ego, and it's desire to perpetuate itself like a virus of mind, always growing, always suppressing the other parts of the person. But what is the ego? Surely it is just a remnant of the primate dominance mechanism that exists in apes? And yes indeed this is true. But it has become horribly distended by a kind of psychic pathology. The ego is now a cancer that threatens to metastasize and destroy the human organism.
So we must face the terrorism of "ME", we have to excise the tumour like a psychological appendix that has ruptured, pouring its foul contents into our psyches.
Don't fear imitation death from imitation terrorism, if you die you will be dead and you'll be somewhere better or nowhere at all. Fear the real death that will take hold of us when we lose all that makes us good as humans if the Ego takes control. A life devoid of anything but self interest is a life not worth living.
Fight the Ego, fight with all you are worth, because otherwise we will have failed as a species. And our planet has a place in the shale for those who do not succed. Consigned to the dustbin of history.
