What the hell did all that crap mean in the last posting?

What a Salesman

The posting is not about the mass ignorance or the shattering of innocence experienced in the Emerald city but in the brilliance of the wizard.

What a sales man.

Imagine the confidence and drive required to sell the world this altered reality. What an amazing talent it would require to create such an illusion and present it so well that the public would paint themselves into that canvas. The story became their story and was the truth. They unconditionally believed and accepted it as the order of things.

Ever since humans began to bunch up together and become civilized we have imposed upon ourselves an idea of order and reality.

This common knowledge and belief was absolutely the truth, for it had always been that way. Rulers and leaders created laws and myths in order to control the people and retain their power.

Different religions came and went, all based on unfaltering belief. All one had to do to have happiness or reward was to believe without question. Any rejection of that presented story resulted in death either in the here and now or the here after, sometimes both.

It is still that way! Laws, rules, and regulations dictate every part of life.

We all know and believe that a challenge of the common religious beliefs condemn one straight to hell. We must be possessed by the devil if we dare question philosophy of a church or of a minister spewing his version of truth, regardless how far away from the bible. "He was called" upon personally and we know not to question anything said. Absolute unquestionable belief is the message and the glue that holds it all together.

Looking for the curtain, citizens of Munchkin land?

Through out history different interpretations and down right falsehoods were incorporated into the common belief. Sometimes for good, to help us all live together, but usually it was what was necessary to retain power and keep the people under control. These very things strayed from the truth and became the new perception.

Whatever the motive, the result was distortion of the truth by the opinion of a relatively small few and the creating of a new reality. Absolute faith in the man as well as the god was and is the unquestionable belief.

What Salesmen

Stay away from the curtain, you don't want to know.

Ramblings of a mad man?

Stick around and see, I may screw up your notion of it all.
