| Frank Herbert
Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a little bit to test it's a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain. Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase ... the human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who do survive. He who can destroy a thing, can control a thing. If you think of yourselves as helpless and ineffectual, it is certain that you will create a despotic government to be your master. The wise despot, therefore, maintains among his subjects a popular sense that they are helpless and ineffectual. It is a wise man that does know the contented man is never poor, whilst the discontented man is never rich.It is to attempt seeing Truth without knowing Falsehood. It is the attempt to see the Light without knowing Darkness. It cannot be. People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles. The people I distrust most are those who want to improve our lives but have only one course of action.The proximity of a desirable thing tempts one to overindulgence. On that path lies danger. Wealth is a tool of freedom, but the pursuit of wealth is the way to slavery. What do you despise? By this are you truly known. When law and duty are one, united by religion, you never become fully conscious, fully aware of yourself. You are always a little less than an individual. When politics and religion are intermingled, a people is suffused with a sense of invulnerability, and gathering speed in their forward charge, they fail to see the cliff ahead of them. |
