Comment To G+ “What you can become depends upon what you can
overcome” Edition
This comment is to a picture posted to
G+ “Thinkers”. A painting quite good in terms of artistic
quality. But it's been removed since, so I can't paste the painting
to accompany this my comment.
Briefly, the painting was on the left
side, war scenes, with images of a skull, guns, war and death
generally, but was being painted into, and implying out of reality or
the picture by a hippie looking male on the right side, with flowers
all round his lower half, and he's holding, and pointing a paint
brush into the barrel of a hand gun, the slogan with it is
“What you
can become depends upon what you can overcome”.
So.., I wrote this....
Wha's this
sayin'?
"Paint your
own illusion!"?
As good as
any....
But, I can't
overcome the horrors in such as Detroit, or in 3rd world places.
they go on, no matter what I enforce myself to believe about myself -
which is toward whatever I actually, really-truly am, not any
superman, or god, or the opposite. Whether realizable or not.
And whatever i
seek of and about myself, sometimes, for some of us, outside forces
are very strong, and act against our being liberated, spiritually,
mentally and physically.
Those are
typically western religious cults, which either stymie our personal
growth, or go to evil extents to steer us to how they believe we
should be, and/or appear to ourselves, mostly to suit their
delusional ideals.
it's a healthy
thought, approach, but I have to ask if it can be applied to and
adopted .by everyone?
I think these
types of statements assume a "blanket rule of commonality",
where-as there are ALWAYS, it's one of those laws of nature,
"exceptions to the rule.
The painting is
effective, [and, I DO like it, generally] but, being simply from the
artist's imagination, and idealistic, it lacks the reality, at least
for some.
It seems to be
saying that a painter of their own destiny can paint out of reality,
the horrors of death and guns and war and imprisonment, etc etc?
This is a blatant
untruth, or a naive deceit.
"Faith"
does NOT overcome the reality of the larger illusion [aware of the
contradiction there], we know as "life on earth", where
chaos is so common, and is on the increase.
Flower power is a
terrible deceit, akin to "the road to hell is paved with good
intentions!"
I've been there,
deep into it, from a very young age, and understand it well.
It is for the
privileged, the 1st worlders who never have to walk 50 miles just for
a drink of water, or scrape dry crusty dirt to extract a few ants for
their 1st feed for days.
The painting is
trying to tell starving multitudes that all they have to do is to
believe there is a beautiful river to drink from and a health-food
stall in front to of them, instead of a warzone and a nutter with an
AK47 whose just blown their family to shreds.
This is the
"Thinkers" page. Not quite the "Atheist's" page,
but I suspect those who do contribute with serious or at least
genuine ideas, and points for discussion to this "Thinkers"
page, are closer to intellectual, Rational, Reasoned concepts and
thinking, than to the fast-dying [HOORAY!] religious "faith"
bullshit.
"Faith"
as best as I've discerned, is closer to, if not the same as
"witchcraft".
Witchcraft, is OK
by me. But naive "Harry Potter" immaturity, or soft,
well-padded, catholic female "ideation", and, of course,
the unthinking unethical abuses of the dark side, being most
alluring, are taboo, for myself at least.
So "faith"
is more dangerous than hard, cold reasoned deduction.
Faith, has us
turn away from reality, has us reduce our perceptions, out of fear of
reality, to insular, myopic, eventually self-deceiving bullshit,
which, eventually, sends us into insanity [aka the modern world
today] and has us take those around us into the same bad place [aka
the modern world today].
And a
rahrahrah.....
Possibly why the post was removed?
