The most insidious crime being committed on the planet today is being committed every moment of every day in every corner of the planet by virtually everyone. It is a crime of such magnitude that it dwarfs Armageddon. It is a crime promoted as noble and honorable and, yes, virtuous by virtually all academicians, philosophers and ministers of every ilk...even so-called enlightened ones. It is the crime of mass genocide being committed in every so-called civilized society against everyone within its reach it is the crime committed under innocent sounding names: Protocol, Propriety, Normality.
It is the crime of imposing boundaries, limitations, social pressures, on what man may or may not do, ought or not do, how he should or should do it, when he should or should not do it, with whom he should or should not do it. Decorum, civility, custom, tradition, decency, correctness, niceness, appropriateness, rightness are the words used most frequently to ensnare a gullible public into bondage.
It begins within minutes of birth. The newborn's body is washed and cleansed and swathed in a blanket.
"It's a girl. We need a pink blanket."
"What do you want to call her?"
"Alex."
"Isn't that a boy's name?"
"I'd like to hold her."
"It's normal for a newborn to be first held and cuddled by the mother."
And it continues till death.
It is a killer crime because it is rooted in the nonrecognition and ever more frequently, outright denial, of a key and fundamental aspect of man's life's nature: Man has free will, the glorious power to choose what to do. Every restraint, every limitation, imposed on man's actions kills his life to one`extent or another. You know this from your own experience. Every single time your freedom to move through life as you choose is limited, you feel bothered, stressed, annoyed, angry. As you should. If anything is normal, it is that reaction to an imposed restraint.
Another killer aspect of this crime is its denial of reality. Its goal is to make us all the same, or at least more the same than we naturally are. But we are in fact all different, are we not? No two of us precisely the same. Different perspectives, different degrees of feelings, different ideas. This crime thinks that undeniable truth is irrelevant. This crime also kills the excitements of life and generates boredom by restraining spontaneity, by placing feelings and desires on the back burner. Rather than ennobling man, it emasculates him, as it bit by bit destroys his identity...as we destroy the beautiful identity of wild animals when we cage them in a`zoo.
That all of this is done in the name of raising the quality of life in modern day societies, is potent evidence of our total ignorance of and total blindness to the consequences of what we are doing: the imminent destruction of civilization.
Years ago I wrote that if man wishes to live life to the fullest he must live it as a sovereign man, unshackled from the will of others. There is no other way.
