This blog is dedicated to throwing stones in some of the glass houses that hold us back. Enjoy :)
why throw stones?
I have often found myself at odds with the world of OFFICIALDOM. The wise "this is how things are done" language and 'ways' of the media, our politicians, our economists, our rich, our priests, our teachers, and our parents have been built around me for 47 years, like glass houses - containing my thoughts, constraining my actions.
I totally 'get' that OFFICIALDOM is there to meet our basic needs by creating order, and providing security and prosperity. I also know that OFFICIALDOM works pretty well [for those who matter, anyway]. But there is a price to pay:
You see, OFFICIALDOM totally fails to meet our higher order needs = the need to be creative; the need to love and be love; the need to achieve self-actualisation, which comes through being both self-expressed and self-determined.
OFFICIALDOM makes us conform because of, and through its ideology = all of our thoughts and actions shall be politically correct, socially responsible, legally prudent, culturally acceptable, economically viable, and mentally rational. We have, in effect, 1984 in 2008.
Living a life of full self-expression and self-determination in a world of OFFICIALDOM is a mighty difficult thing to do. I reckon it all starts in the mind. How you see things is how things are. Which is why i created this blog.
