Utopic

What if one day we may build our own free heaven? 
That is probably never going to happen...
Why not?
Most of them will think that we are just mad. That we are unaware of reality, that we are daydreamers and we have no clue of what real life presuposes.
What does life presupose?
Simplicity. Laughter. Originality. Friendship. Love. And tears...
What is their reality?
I think they are obsessed with leaving a trace. But there are only ripples on the surface of troubled waters. Social standing, money and beauty confined in dictated patterns.
Which is your reality?
I can only percieve it through small-scale detectors. Reality is wider than my powers of observation or expanse of my imagination.This is a very simple idea. This makes me have respect for what is not known. I think that people focused a lot on only the parts of reality without trying to see it as a whole. From there on, they became, like Narcissus, fascinated with their own projections, their own reflection over that certain part, and they begun to structure their own reality and, at the same time, to make it fascinating for all of them.
What does this really mean? What are you trying to say?
That we are creators, too. We create reality as a tool to satisfy owr needs.
I am even more puzzled...
We transform in an intelligent way pieces of already existing reality. From a thought to architectural masterpiece. A thought of a need of some kind had the energy to transcend from imaterial to material and to be achieved such a magnificient material movement. And what really strikes me is that we know the existence of imaterial and we can experience it through our thoughts. Thoughts are imaterial, nevertheless they exist. We are creators of reality. We are still so obsessed with material, that we neglect the imaterial. It exists but it is marginalised. Philosophy should  be common between people.
What about philosophy among the people?
It is outrageous how we stigmatise or esteem these people, the philosophers. We even have tops of the Greatest Philosophers. I dont want to diminuish their importance at all. I only want to say that if we all try to think further we would be able to. Yet, we are not doing it. Or may be some of the people only, who have quicken the pace towards that direction. They should not be so special. Thinking is human, everybody is doing it. It is within our nature. This is how we create reality.
But, how do we create it?
We have the ingredients from what we experience during our lives. We take parts of what we have percieved and reflected upon and then we mix them into a new reality. Some new reality can be considered a piece of art.
What about perceiving?
We are endowed with reason and a bodily awareness. We observe, see, feel the reality around us. Every other living being does it one way or another. In addition, we also feel it. We feel the sadness, the joy, various combinations of these two.
We are endowed with logic. We reason between yes or no, similarly to what we call know an algorhytm: "If that is true then yes or no".
Mathematically, between 0 or 1. Zero we know that it is nothingness, but 1, we dont know big is that one.
Between it feels good or it feels bad. It is between to extremes.
Why extremes?
Well to make myself clear, I meant extreme in a social way. The extreme of the norm. How much are we actually allowed to think or feel. Beyond certain limits, though certain scopes, we might become either  crazy, either overwhelmed by vice. Therefore, the extremes are dangerous because they are breaching beyond the territory of general social comfort. Once breached, it would have access to other meanings and the general social comfort could be dismissed. Once these limits being breached, and inividual can become dangerous for the existence of the others. We do not know what meanings are therefore we tend to censor until everything seems to be acceptable. One way or another, people are trying and have been forever trying to relax the norms.Some people exceed in advacing to a point where general logic or general feeling is not the matter anymore. Therefore they can inflict pain or react upon paralogic judgments.Think about this dictator who managed to cross the line of logic or sensation and engaged himleft into a word wide war, causing the death of millions. It is not fascinating contamplating the death of the people, but the extent of one thought can reach is worth contemplating. To kill some one is crossing the line. But killing millions is far beyond the general comprensible limit.

we might become crazy, overwhelmed by vice.. we might become authentic..creating ourselves and our own reality..
but then, a society of people who are true to themselves is not wanted..people are encouraged to fear (god, basescu..)and be ''pawns'' in economy..

I was talking about the limits of the norm, the acceptable. You may think of the sum of acceptable actions in a certain society. To watch porn may be unacceptable ina certain society. Paedophilia is not acceptable anywhere.I am not discussing here anykind of fear. I am just saying that even sick and vicious people act upon a certain logic. And this logic is a part of reality, even we do not have the power tp comprehend it. I am not bringing into discussion the bad or the good of a certain act, but I am trying to underline the flexible edge between what it is accetable and what is beyond...
