Artists & the Big Lie
**********************
People do bad things.
People do good things.
The worst thing
people can do
is to Lie.
The Lie creates
a view of reality
which does not reflect
what is really happening or meant.
The Lie makes
something appear to be
the case when it is not.
The Lie blinds us to
what is true and right
and can reverse these
in our minds.
In other words,
the Lie is the best way
to take power;
to control others;
to prevent others from
controlling
or accurately directing
their own lives.
The Lie is deeply
anti-life,
anti-freedom,
anti-individualist.
To make reality appear
to be something it is not
is to do harm deliberate.
This is called being
'politically correct'.
To be cool is to be liked,
feared and admired.
It is to have taken the Lie
to the realm of Grace.
Because life is complex,
Free Speech guarantees
that we can say what we like
whether it is fully
or only partly true;
or even if it is untrue
but we didn't realize that.
To Lie, on the other hand,
is to destroy Free Speech
through destructive intent.
Those who prevented others
from speaking
are expert at the Lie.
Being so,
they can take control
and do not have to
explain themselves.
Dictators
never have to
explain themselves.
Were they to,
we would see through
their ruse and demolish them.
So long as we accept
cool people being cool
we protect the Lie and the Liar.
The Lie prevents us
from hearing our own truth
and from knowing its beauty.
It is anti-life.
This is why it is
always practiced by
suicide bombers,
tyrants and
far left negotiators
- their hatred for life
and freedom
and creative evolution
are their way of saying:
" I am afraid of life
and don't want you to be
more than I can ever be."
Envy is the source
of the Lie.
Fear and destruction
are its consequence.
No analysis or debate
can change
the Liar's perspective.
They are terrified of
what is.
They want security,
boundary, stasis.
While the freedom-lover
searches for opportunity,
openness,
progressive evolution.
The Lie is
anti-evolutionary because,
like socialism,
it is not in love with life,
but caught in the need
for security above all else.
For the knowable,
predictable and controllable,
it is most unforgiveable
that so many artists,
poets, authors are left wing.
They hang with the
life-haters and shelter-seekers.
These are not the
future.
They are nothing.
