Most children are not produced out of the fruition of love. Most children are created out of the parent's need for power. A child is utterly helpless, and is under the total mercy of the parent. In modern society, it is a norm to be cruel to a child and call it love, call it, its for your own good. When the child grows up, parents feels empty and some are unwilling to relinquish that power over children. And they use guilt, instead of coercion. And this left the child totally power-starved, power-crazed, till they are driven to produce children as well, to inflict torture on the younger generation. Thus, parental relationship are always love-hate. A deeply neurotic and repetitive vicious cycle.
Out of the mother's breast, we drink poison. Milk tainted with a deep sense of powerlessness. We are told to be anything, but ourselves. Without their guidance, we cannot fit into this society. But with their guidance, we suffer terribly in it. Everyone says its for the greater good. But no one ever questions the sickness, the perversity of society as it is now. The society no longer serves us, we serves the society. And who is the society? No one, but the stupid rules we make to imprison everyone in it. To hide the perversity. Perversity not in the moral sense, but in the existential sense. Formality becomes more important than reality, gestures become more important than true relationship. And everyone is in denial of the naked truth because it is very very ugly.
We cannot be free from the society, because we ARE society. Without it, you do not exist. Which is why you cannot never be free from it. Freedom only comes when you realize you are NOT it. And this realization does not come easily nor painlessly. It requires the courage to face death itself, for it will mean the death of YOU, as you know it. And this courage can only come from the awakening to this madness, the dawn of seeing a life enslaved, is unbearable to live. Then, an inner radical transformation becomes possible.
