man is frightened by harmless death, but not by truly
horrifying things like sin and ignorance.

suffer is a necessity
for mortals".

JJPC: happiness
is in liking what we do, not in doing what we
like. |
www.higheryet.com suggests
a ceaseless reaching higher.
The Red Queen warned Alice in Wonderland to run faster and further,
lest
even the standing trees and houses on the road would leave her behind.
"The Red Queen Race" is now a biologist's metaphor for the
nonstop
alternating victories of our bodies against deadly bacteria , and vice
versa, just to survive.
We decay if we slow down.
Political and media Puppeteers pull the strings and manipulate us.
They reach far beyond subliminal marketing suggestions, blatant systems
like the "canned laughter" in TV comedies to tell us at what point we
are to laugh, or whatever else they wand us to do. Not only we may become disoriented if we dare to laugh
without the "canned laughter" conditional reflex, but someone may
already be thinking of developing a new human species "in vitro" who
responds exactly as wished by the marketing or political wizards...
They promise the goals most people wish, but most of those goals are the
results of unknown causes.
"Postmodern" leftists blame Christianity and the West as
the
source of our evils.
They aim to "deconstruct" the Western Culture in the schools,
universities,
media and society, as the only means left to advocate their
"Socialist
culture".
They undermine the family and traditional virtues, favor promiscuity,
ultra feminism, militant homosexuality, anti-patriotism, anti-white
racism, vending-machine divorce and abortion, and scoff at most qualities on
which free societies have prospered.
They demonize
American
history, lobotomize religion, balkanize America with racist
multiculturalism and hostile immigration.
After that, they will exterminate the
dissenters.
Pure
reason is pushed into destructive relativism.
Pure faith degenerates in
dogmatic
fetishism.
Yet it is West Culture literacy that allows Reason and Faith to
coexist, as in the Chinese "Yin/Yang" symbol in which evil/good, dark/light and
all opposites can coexist.
We need knowledge from information, not the biased opinions from
manipulative educators.
People from the "Third World" keep
coming
to European and American universities to absorb Western culture,
technology and
science, but also to learn about their own old achievements we assimilated when their ancestors could not.
Even with our toleration of tenured biased educators, politicized religion and
virtue, permissiveness setting morality, culture defenders accused of
"hate crimes", criminals declared victims of intolerance, corruption of
free speech and human rights, Western Culture is still mankind's best
hope.
HIGHERYET is like a living book, subject to unpredictable changes, corrections
and
additions, probably as long as this writer is able to think and write..
HIGHERYET is for the record, not for a majority we don't
know, in an English I started to learn (as my 8th language) in 1955, at age 31,
when I arrived in U.S.A. with my wife and two sons (3 year and 4 month old). We
had 5 more children in U.S.A., then one more boy in 1980 from my present wife.
