Q(&A)

There are so many incidents, where the total absurdity of the human mind has been his own model. There has been so many before us who fought for justice and love. Those who fought were killed, those who opposed succumbed to their resistance. Those who reconciled with the injustice and those who did injustice remained in injustice. They became the untouchables, "the impassible, the untouchables. They distanced themselves, not content, but not in rebellion.

For what reason? For what purpose? What is the meaning of the downfall of the warrior, what is the meaning of the death of the righteous? Ultimately, there is no less to fight for now then before. There is a greater scope for sincere thoughts, there is a sincere larger space for dissenting views. But there is no real room for a fundamental dissatisfaction with the order of things. But I wonder: what do we need more than this counter-voices that speak from the sidelines of the injustice? People who ask and those with a critical mind. Is there more to it than those who are driven by the spirit of the vision of the contrary?

Where is the change in a human life? Where is the change under this heaven? Change on a large scale is almost a metaphysical happening, an event that regulates itself. But change on a small scale, perhaps, is that within our reach? "Seed from morning until night, do not let your hand rest, because you do not know if the seed one or the other, or each time will germinate." And is it also true that everything great has ever started small ? Humanity does have a humanity to ultimately make a difference and we also see that we change. But what is changing to man is not his nature, what has changed is his ability and his creativity, which changes his mind and, especially, his environment and living conditions. But does something fundamentally changes about what we really are? Apparently we should retrospectively conclude: it does not. Why this status quo?
