Secure to be as blest as thou canst bear:
Safe in the hand of one disposing Pow'r,
Or in the natal, or the mortal hour.
All Nature is but Art,
Unknown to thee;
All Chance, Direction,
Which thou canst not see;
All Discord, Harmony, not understood;
All partial Evil, universal Good:
And, spite of Pride,
In erring Reason's spite,
One truth is clear, .......

From Ape to Da·sein.....
Evolution is all about finding
More rational and meaningful identities
And being able to redefine and hold

In better light.
Pedagogy of the oppressed.....

Pedagogy of the oppressed / Dehumanization....
Dehumanization,
although a concrete historical fact,
is not a given destiny but
the result of an unjust order

which in turn dehumanizes the oppressed.

Morality is a pretense

Until we break that logjam
Our sustainability....

Highly questionable.

To squander our respective human values......
The rise and fall of political fortunes and
That of rivalries of establishment ideologies
At best are an abstract upheavals and
If not superficial are mostly irrelevant
But to pay a price with humanity
In any manner and to undermine

A shortcoming in democratic spirit
Even if not an abject fall
Still is unbecoming of
Any given society.

Understanding mankind......
When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or
A Christian or A European, or anything else,
You are being violent.
Do you see why it is violent?
Because you are separating yourself from
the rest of mankind.
When you separate yourself by belief,
by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence.
So a man who is seeking to understand violence
does not belong to any country, to any religion,
to any political party or partial system;
he is concerned with......
the total understanding of mankind.
― Jiddu Krishnamurti.

Our legacies....
The wrongs and evils of this world
Historically are not our making....
But what we have for our times is
The ability to stop continuation of
Such wrongs....
The ability that which is given to
Us collectively and invested in
Each one of us....
Where we can put an end to
Such wrongs being perpetuated Or
Allow ourselves be swept under
The currents of wrong historical forces
In continuation.....
That not only undermine our existence
But make us leave behind
The very misguided foot prints of
Our false inheritance.....
As a legacy and direction for
Our future generations to come
Leaving their lives with the burden of
Another Past......
That is not free from the wrongs and evils of
Yesteryears.
Quote of the day......
Artistic creation, after all,
is not subject to absolute laws,
valid from age to age;
since it is related to the more general aim of
mastery of the world,
it has an infinite number of facets,
the vincula that connect man
with his vital activity; and
even if the path towards knowledge is unending,
no step that takes man nearer
to a full understanding of
the meaning of his existence can be
too small to count.
---Andrei Tarkovsky.

Quote of the day....../To be Or not To be......
Do not repeat after my words

Quote of the day.....
It is obvious that art cannot
teach anyone anything,
since in four thousand years
humanity has learnt nothing at all.
We should long ago have become angels
had we been capable of paying attention
to the experience of art, and
allowing ourselves to be changed
in accordance with the ideals
it expresses.
--Andrei Tarkovsky.
Artistic faith...
The poet has nothing to be proud of.
He is not master of the situation,
but a servant.
Creative work is his only
possible form of existence,
and his every work is like a deed
he has no power to annul.
For him to be aware that the sequence of
such deeds is due and ripe,
that it lies in the very nature of things,
he has to have faith in the idea;
for only faith interlocks the system of images
for which read system of life.
--- Andrei Tarkovsky.

Psychotic / A mental disorder characterized by a disconnection from reality....
Off all ignorance

Ocean 8... Part 2....
The oppressed,
instead of striving for liberation,
tend themselves to become oppressors
They have no consciousness of
themselves as persons or
as members of an oppressed class.
The oppressed find in the oppressors
their model of 'manhood.'
The behavior of the oppressed is
a prescribed behavior, following as it does
the guidelines of the oppressor.
