Seems as if the lockdown lessons have not been learnt. A kind of complacency is slowly creepingin with some countries moving away from it all and in some ways life may still never be the same. It could not be as the world is too closely knit together with communications that there is nowhere which may escape one’s attention. Or we are fully aware that as a specie we have been forced into reflection regardless of whether one likes it or not. There is no way escaping what hit us and or may still carry on doing so regardless of our in situation or life status.
Seems that life is at a standstill regardless of the fact that we may attempt to ignore what hit us as a specie. We may not ignore others or where they are at. Even at time of writing, some countries are forced into submission, not knowing what to do or not to do. Not that others do either. When one lives in an era where kings are no longer philosophers, decisions made may not be conducive towards helping society as a whole… as all is a question of attempting to inflate even further the false ego who believes they know it all and the rest are seen as puppets. Arrogance of the first class are noted everywhere.
Added to all this is the idea of petty controllers who feels that once in some position of authority, they try and impose on every other as a way to be. All sure based on a more or less contaminated way of being, a kind of often ruthless attempt to impose, of showing aspects of that control factor displaying around and about as of this is the way of being in a mode which seeks to add value to one’s parochial way of being where the longer the not- me is unduly subjected, the more value one would add to oneself. Work becomes a way of trying to keep dignifying the ego as opposed to being authentic.
In my authentic mode of being, reaching out becomes a measure of being, a way to be where arrogance and pettiness are shown the door and instead rises one who perceive the other, as a comrade rather than seeking to be that controller where the other is kept being belittle at every single opportunity. The more authority invested in one, the individual always seeks dominance as a norm to express oneself albeit unduly. A society of misperception takes over or more precisely, such a lifestyle becomes a universal state of being, A crude and roguish way moves into operation. Emerge out of the doorstep and the car… oh our car gives one all undue authority to seek a way to be based on negativism unlimited where a most apparent abject form of oneself is displayed where ‘the king’ is somehow someone the vulgar self about as the subject is always correct as opposed to the other.
It seems as if the lessons of lockdown have not been learnt. That fear factor of not being at any moment where one is made to coerce into subjugation where one is called to reflect is forgotten and put aside and instead arise that being of a ruffian, most primitive being which may not see being the bodily self or its immediacy. That is the problem, or malaise into which one is to be at that level of superficiality where it is a matter of me, me and me as pitted against the other.
In some ways, all of these are based on incongruous desires from a contaminated consciousness which called upon and seek more and more and more of that way based on a way to be. These gives rise to undue and sometimes uncalled for desires where the question is of seeking more and more of of the same regardless of being kicked in more ways that once as one keeps searching for these momentary satisfactions which is always accompanied by pain yet somehow the individual keeps forgetting the torment one had to endure to beget those temporary pleasures or aspects of contentment. Even during these contentedness one passes through some pain with the overriding aspect of the overall non permanent potency taking over.
The prudent, however goes for a serenity of being where through aspects of stop, pause and reflect tales notes of any available lesson to redress the self. That the first wave of Wuhan factor should have given most of us something to reflect, more and more of others fail to realise its appeal to that way of being where on is halted to reconsider. However, the bourgeois mindset is that it is all about naivety, a way which seeks divisions about and around the self for it to thrive. Calm may not be encountered in fragments. It requires a more unifying spirit which rises above and beyond that norm of a way thereby perceiving way above that immediacy into which one is thrown and to be sure not being entangled in an enforced confinement and witnessing that which is in someways not that easily apprehended. Only when one arrives at this level of such a mindset may one be free from contamination’s of the obvious, the known which subjugation and further pulverises the self into submission of a particular way whereby one becomes a reactionary who simply abide and lives in a temporal mode as fixed by the norm of what others do or say. Or one is but a mere object in that wilderness of being. To move from that submissive state is to awake, and be a subject who participates and so unlike those objects which are carried over via events and similar one is a subject awaiting to move onwards in a proactive mode of being where what is seen is not what others demands and or make us feel, think and do but verily aspects of creativity emerges. In this sense, there is no longer rapturous format of being where one is overturned and constantly being subjugated via others but of a way which gives rise to be in the mode what may be truly achieve based on a communion with the dialectics rather than being subjugated via other egocentric trips which simply are about for the few insensitive beings who by virtue of their arrogance wants to truly corner each and everyone in a certain way to be to through a historical condition.
The question then is is it quite possible to be free from such historical baggages. More importantly does one wish to rid of this. What do you think?
Lesson learnt or what?……..
