Personal dream - common nightmare

Individual human beings decided to form communities because they have realized: having power is temporal and relative.


Even the most powerful people will lose their strength sometime and need help; and at their greatest time, they have weaknesses in various areas, so they still need the help of others.

Therefore, they should share their power and serve the weaker around, to make them happy and feel powerful as well, so they will be there, able and motivated to help when the wheel turns around. Because it turns for sure.



This makes our current "advanced" western thinking so dangerous: we deny individual weakness, and that our life is inherently fragile and temporal. This childish approach removes our most valuable motivations, and so we turn the global community, the civilization upside down.

Today we accept that the fundamental rules of global capitalism are against the core motivation of forming a community. They support the increasing advantage of the rich upon the poor.


This is the absolute stupidity behind the "futurist" statement of live long enough to live forever. To write a bestseller for the shallow-minded crowd of children who are too scared to grow up does not mean someone knows the civilization-level effect of a broken dream, even though that dream is so popular.

Opposite to that fairy tale, this is the truth, and our real present and future in the real world, that we, and our children through generations, will surely share...




Nothing can form a more dangerous common nightmare 
than an individual fairy-tale.
