I sit and read Walden and Civil disobedience... I ponder fictional philosophy in books like fight club and into the wild and i think to myself why? you cant every force change you cant bring people onto a level of lightened philosophical thought. It cant be done! Society is to ingrained into the humanistic ideal. When it comes down to it no longer is man ever in a state of natural being. Our minds are no longer Tabula Rasa as it were. We at least in the United States can say that we are free but nobody is free. Weve given up freedom for the ability to have a notion of liberty.. Liberty is not innate liberty is a mask shielding us from the belief that we are unique and different . We sacrifice our freedom to allow for governmental control for the ability to feel safe. Safe from what? from ourselves? Really life has only turned into suspended animation. We lead meaningless docile lives... to sound palahniukesque we are drones. We dont take the time to appreciate what life really is to see beauty for what beauty is. Some people believe good gets better but few have ever truly known good.
