So Long As We Only Believe In

I've Since Come To Understand The Reason School Lasts Thirteen Years. It Takes That Long To Sufficiently Break A Child's Will. It Is Not Easy To Disconnect Children's Wills, To Disconnect Them From Their Own Experiences Of The World In Preparation For The Lives Of Painful Employment They Will Have To Endure.

In Order To Maintain Our Way Of Living, We Must Tell Lies To Each Other, And Especially To Ourselves.

If We Hope To Stem The Mass Destruction That Inevitably Attends Our Economic System (and To Alter The Sense Of Entitlement - The Sense Of Contempt, The Hatred - On Which It Is Based), Fundamental Historical, Social, Economic, And Technological Forces Need To Be Pondered, Understood, And Redirected. Behavior Won't Change Much Without A Fundamental Change In Consciousness. The Question Becomes: How Do We Change Consciousness?

Like The Layers Of An Onion, Under The First Lie Is Another, And Under That Another, And They All Make You Cry.

If You Only Had A Limited Time To Life (which Is Of Course The Case), How Would You Spend Your Time?
