I
have a dream, a dream where certain words and ideas have totally disappeared.
A
French dream kind of, of REAL liberty, equality, fraternity, a dream in fact
where even the word fraternity has changed to something asexual.
Mind you it is a very childish impossible
dream that will never happen but what am I to do on my passage on this earth
but to dream of a much better one?
For
one thing someone said
“Dans une société fondée sur le pouvoir de l'argent, il ne peut y avoir de "liberté", réelle et véritable. “
“In a society based on
the power of money there cannot be any real and true freedom”
I am still quite impressed by a very short
part of French History, an incredible part where humongous changes were made,
changes that did not last long alas. Speaking here of the French Revolution
Calendar of course and its complex remodelling of society thinking with at its
based the dechristianisation of France altogether.
Of course they were going to meet with extremely
violent forces foaming at the mouth mostly over their loss of power really when
all is said and done. But the IDEA, the music, of it all was blissful for a
short time. No more of this 7 and 12 business
and all down to a decimal system in a decimal world.
The idea that each day was related to a
complex vocabulary of Nature and that Reason was a god for a short moment
leaves me with a sighing melancholia.
We have to confess that our million
rituals, most of them somewhat barbaric, are nothing short of emotional mindless
madness: based on nothing but mass
hysteria really.
Even a utopian island could not exist for
very long I am afraid in this mass media society we have created: no more
Robinsons & Fridays, no place to hide anymore.
Not even sure how it would function really,
can’t think of a perfect world with man in it as man is so imperfect and such a
failure.
Man can only dream of a perfect world,
usually one to come, and SOMEWHERE ELSE, some OTHER time or dimension of time
even.
A John Lennon imaginary world kind of, with
no religion, no countries, nothing to die for, where people have no history
really since happy people we all know have no history. No religion meaning no sacrifice,
no ritual, no liturgy, no myth, and no delusions.
This is probably why it is much easier to
write a dystopia, happiness is hard to dramatize as Fellowes says.
What would one read about now? Let’s face
it, a Penelope is utterly boring and won’t appeal to Jane Austen or Oscar Wilde
or Shakespeare. You cannot write a movie
about Penelope.
Imagine a world with no bullying, no
hazing, no lynching, and no mob hysteria now? How rational! How BORING. Fuck no
Jackass either! L
A world where everyone is rational, loves
and respects each other, no one is cunning or deceitful or even deluded. You can leave your door unlocked and sleep in
the middle of the park at night.
Everyone is free to love whomever he/she wants, everybody minds their
own business (Fuck Forbid) Papers have nothing to write really. We really live in the pursuit of happiness
happy with little and no one is lacking anything or starving. No one is filthy
rich either of course. Eloi WITHOUT the
Morlocks. Books and Music for free at
every corner. Epicurian moderate feasts
with medicine to compensate. Everyone dies of old age peacefully in his/her
sleep.
None of this need to be Stoic or resilient
in anything.
Ah dreaming is so pleasant.
What else? A controlled population of
course with everyone “allotted his lot”, A house, a bed and enough food for
all.
No hatred, no gossip, no bogans or chavs or
any of these low economical crime infested convict violent behaviour
areas. Epicurians with social responsibilities.
Words like RESPECT and CONSIDERATION re-established
as priorities number one in our school curriculum. Free Schools that teach you to think for yourself.
No child is mistreated or even laughed
at.
Of course no war and not a single need for
any kind of weapon.
It would seem to me also that without going
fanatical PETA here or even vegan it might be a necessity to avoid meat as
blood spilling seems to only need to more blood spilling.
It seems to me that a free Commensal would
be Epicurian enough and answer to all tastes.
Commensal is at least or was a vegetarian
franchise where food is sold by the gram. One would be amazed at the expensive
costs of something that is 90% heavy water now J
Trying to create a balanced ‘perfect’ world
now also needs to ELIMINATE all form of activism/fanaticism of all kind. Because let’s face it many are violent freaks.
One of them freak once claimed that we
could lodge the whole population of the world in Texas and even though I
doubted his claim at first it seems that he might have been right mathematically
after all as the population density
would certainly not be as high many cities in the world.
So imagine now everyone with his little
white picket fence house in the prairie, with his 2.2 children and a happy well-respected
EQUAL wife, maybe not in Texas but somewhere with a minimum of 18 and a maximum
of 25 all year round with rain only at night, sunny days and a nice breeze
otherwise. Maybe everyone producing
enough food even for his family and a little extra. No need for lawyers. Free doctors and specialists at all time.
Life as priority number one at all cost.
Meaning being no poor or rich that one needing a billion dollar
procedure to extend the length and quality of his life can have it no questions
asked with no stressful waiting time.
We all know by now that I am in the
IMPOSSIBLE conjecture realm and therefore economical conjectures are no object
by this time since none of this will even happen. But I mean if we have the “means”
now to spend trillions of dollars on armaments of all sorts, eliminating that “need’”,
one can easily imagine good money being spent elsewhere on health and education
where it SHOULD be in a perfect world right?
Can I even imagine respectful divorces in
such a world because let’s face it more than too often it takes more than one
or two trials to find the right person?
Divorces with no misogyny or misandry for
that fact. Respect for the ex and what not even.
Paperwork in fact might be totally
eliminated as one lives on PRINCIPLES.
Imagine waking up to this now Rip Van
Winkle? A breath of fresh air in an
ethereal almost astral realm.
As I said it will never ever happen, if
there was only one truth it would be this one.
A world of respect of sound and air and
smells and pollution, filled with respect and consideration, filled with love
with no hate and no violence at all, no need for violence. A world where the lion really sleeps next to
the lamb? Why is there a need for all these animals anyway in an Ha Olam Haba?
Just curious.
No death now might be a blessing or a curse
so I am not so sure on this subject. Of
course there would be some sort of inevitable inexorable forms of grief I am
afraid, FEAR being included here in this expression.
So here is a start anyway, of course my
perfect world is different than yours, and everyone’s perfect world is
different from the neighbour. This is intrinsically
WHY there can never ever BE a perfect world in fact.
But it was nice to imagine, to put in
thoughts and images anyway.
What is YOUR perfect world now?
On a final note it seems to reflect a world
where your chaos is not imposed on my chaos really. An elimination of stenches and noises in
fact.
It would also resembles much of Alanis
Morissette’s view of Utopia
We'd gather around
All in a room
Fasten our belts
Engage in dialogue
We'd all slow down
Rest without guilt
Not lie without fear
Disagree sans judgement
We would stay and respond and expand and include and allow and forgive and
enjoy and evolve and discern and inquire and accept and admit and divulge and open and reach out and speak up
We'd open our arms
We'd all jump in
We'd all coast down
Into safety nets
We would share and listen and support and welcome
Be propelled by passion, not invest in outcomes
We would breathe and be charmed and amused by difference
Be gentle and make room for every emotion
We'd provide forums
We'd all speak out
We'd all be heard
We'd all feel seen
We'd rise post-obstacle, more defined, more grateful
We would heal, be humbled, and be unstoppable
We'd hold close and let go and know when to do which
We'd release and disarm and stand up and feel safe
This is utopia
This is my utopia
This is my ideal
My end in sight
Utopia
This is my utopia
My ultimate
