We have to be willing to give up all the injustices of the past that did exist - and that do exist right now. When we become interested in liberation, we then become interested in that which transcends time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
History teaches us to beware of the excitation of the liberated and the injustices that often accompany their righteous thirst for justice.
Liberation is an ever shifting horizon, a total ideology that can never fulfill its promises. It has the therapeutic quality of providing emotionally charged rituals of solidarity in hatred - it is the amphetamine of its believers.
We're all struggling to get out of the past. We see something that reminds us of something, and then we bring our baggage into the present. Then we project it onto people constantly.
But the whole point of liberation is that you get out. Restructure your life. Act by yourself.
Every religion or every philosophy is an outcome of the human search for liberation.
People have to liberate themselves, because liberation is not a single act. It's a question of eternal vigilance. Otherwise, you'll just become enslaved by someone else.
In every man the memory of the struggles and the heroes of the past is alive. But these memories are not incompatible with the desire for peace in the future.
We're in an age of enlightenment, and we have a choice as a society which path to take.
There is an opportunity for us to renew ourselves. There's an opportunity for us to leave the past behind and present something different for the future.
I'm just fascinated by the past. You know, both by the possibilities it holds and by the complete tyranny of it, the way it sort of keeps you in this stranglehold and makes you want things that you no longer have and you can never get back.
