The wise man questions.

 

 

“The sanity of society is a balance of a thousand insanities.”  ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson; American essayist, philosopher, society critic, lecturer, and poet.

There is no bigger fool than the fool who does not want to see, than the fool who follows the carrot society dangles in his face.
 

Without questioning, without self-exploration, without a fresh perspective one cannot see reality; hence, one’s mind remains stubborn and chained to a blinding society who does not care about the freedom or happiness of the individual, but a society that only cares about the established patterns, old traditions, ways of living which sell and increase its own power.

 

The said human being then, chained and subconsciously subdued, quite often dull and depressed, with certain bouts of an anxious and overtaxed mind, begins to accept the crooked “reality” this idiotic and enslaving society has cast upon him, just like a very strong spell he lives every day as he wakes up.

And so, he is now dismal and his narrow mind is the world this society has created for him, where he sees only the work he hates, where he sees no deeper understanding, where he knows only struggle, pain and pleasure, but no happiness beyond that.

To awaken from all this is to question all this, every little detail; thus, question even what you know right now to be true, question more and more, never stop.

The wise man knows that he knows nothing, because the wise man knows that he will always be questioning and exploring as long as a breath remains in his body.

Be the wise man, not the fool, the slave, the ignorant servant who follows the carrot dangled in his face….

 

 “The environment that we call society is created by past generations; we accept it, as it helps us to maintain our greed, possessiveness, illusion.”  ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti.
