Obviously whoever that believes that there is the possibility of a transformation of any kind and he deserve it, will think that there are something or someone that is trying to steal him, since this transformation does not arrive.
Then there is a dynamic that explain what happens with modernity: revolution, paranoid repression, totalitarianism, war, restoration of order, more revolutions etc.. but also the search for great advances, in the hope to find definitive solutions for everything. And also the hunger for news and novelties instead of the search for truth. All the essayed in the past is rubbish, even the things that partially succeeded , since that was not completely successful. The modern admit no compromises since his non negotiable exigence is need something definitive that eradicate everything bad and justifies his own holiness and innocence, that is, a total transformation, a resurrection. Therefore all the past is evil, except those events that in the past announced the new ideology in fashion. The modern is ever rewriting history to redecorate morally whatever in the past according with the new hopes. That also happens in his own life: The modern is born every morning.. without history. He reinvent itself. Today he feels that some sect or ideology is the solution to all his problems. tomorrow he read something about some diet, at the next day, running is the answer. The next day, if the sect does something bad according with the news, he hates the sect where he was member, but he does not feel that he shares the charge for being part of the sect in the past. On the contrary, he hates the sect for stealing him time before knowing what he know now: the definitive solution for everithing, whatever it is today. That is specially true in the case of women. They are prone to be influenced much more than men, besides the suffering that this vital insecurity causes herselves. For this reason, they are the preferred targets of advertising, political campaigns, evil sectarians and every kind of flattered, manipulative men. That is the dark side of the feminist ideology. Another dimension of modern religions are the return of magic an the cult to personality, since the material dimension does not fulfill the human nature. But that is another long post. 2014-04-28 10:55 GMT+02:00, Alberto G.
