"There are always three stages when an innovation is introduced into society. At first, it is denounced as ridiculous. In the second stage it encounters vigorous resistance and in the third, it is considered a natural fact of life."

Arthur Schopenhauer
German philosopher (1788-1860)

"It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out where the strong man stumbled, or where a doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs, and who comes up short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause. The man who at best knows the triumph of high achievement and who at worst, if he fails, fails while daring greatly, so that his place will never be with those cold timid souls who never knew victory or defeat." - Teddy Roosevelt

A bad conscience creates malignant behavior. You make somebody else bad in order to free yourself from responsibility. We call that the Emotional Plague.

Without someone to control, people ofttimes feel empty.

Without controlling oneself, people ofttimes feel dispersed.

Control is not outwardly-related, but a consciousness-related event inward, involving no one else but oneself, ofttimes difficult, ofttimes unseen.

A mask without a reason.

In the blink of an eye the people have stopped blaming the government for the worsening economy and shifted that blame to the 'terrorists'."

"A big state can take over a small state if it places itself below the small state. And the small state can take over a big state if it places itself below the big state. Thus some, by placing themselves below, take over others, and some, by being naturally low, take over other states. After all, what a big state wants is but to annex and herd others, and what a small state wants is merely to join and serve others. Since both big and small states get what they want, the big state should place itself low."
