Thank you for you message. I was born in Bastogne and in the second war. have a nice Halloween

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. That's the plan, aiming big

Sometimes u step on some old soil , and at a first glance you think that the land is fertile
So you take care of it ; you plant flowers in it , you feed its birds and gazelles , you treat it as if it was your home and you need no language to know where are your feet on …

It appears so safe and peaceful , but one night while u are sleeping … you suddenly open your eyes shocked seeing its snakes and scorpions biting you , you saw them before , but you didn’t make an attention for them because you already know how peaceful the land is … or so you thought …

They keep biting you over and over but you still insist to stay and give the land a chance
But no matter how much you resist the toxicity , it comes back again even higher than before

So u decide to leave the land for good , knowing it was a lie and that u had no place in it from the start … one day out of curiosity …

You come back to check it for one last time … and u expect nothing but deadly disgusting toxic air which made u realise that u were too blind to see that You are watering a desert

Hi nice to meet you

Depends on the level of insomnia ....

Would not the age be yet another restriction?
Limitations set by the cultural norm.
As if there was some higher power pointing out, what is normal and what is not.
Not mixing it with morals or any other virtue.
I am keen to explore the limitations of mind. Is there anything predominantly fixed. Or is it all bond to my inner work.

You say the lake never changed. But the people inside the city changed. The cultural change, the environmental change, the architectural change... many things changed already

Hey The English Prof from Chicago! Well, the most prominent quote from Orwell's 1984 is "Orthodoxy is unconsciousness" and he wasn't referring to religion. In the book, the people around the main character were brainwashed and very professionally deceived that the normal was truly unconsciousness because everyone believed what the government said! Winston Smith had just had a revelation about his surroundings and started developing all of these ideas that Orwell wrote to channel the human condition under the control of "democracy" and "fighting terror" and the governmental definitions of terror and illicit action and views on countries and people and so on.
How much time is considered orthodox to sleep each night? Just to sound crazy and unhinged, I'll tell you why do we need to sleep at night? Why is it necessary to sleep seven hours each night? Who said 9-to-5 jobs were good to our heads? Why is aplrazolam such a high alert drug yet found everywhere? Why is the middle class preferring true unconsciousness over consciousness? Are we just unconscious in a world full of rules written by money-vacuums and murderers dressed in suits? What's wrong that "orthodoxy is unconsciousness" is such a provoking line? Is George Orwell trying to sell drugs? Or is something really up?
I thank you so much for this post. Come back!

Nice story! ☺️
