sickness

well done Ophra for setting it up, very sexy too...
The two vices for every virtue -yes I have been observing this in the everyday interactions with people - the English politenes and niceties are so prevelant over here nobody dares to express their true feelings of maybe anger, frustration, a bit of darkness - "how are you.... everythings fine..." It really is true. I have observed it in my middle class friends and even in my self - we all want to be 'nice' 'good' people, not rocking the boat emotionally, appearing virtous but secretly there is alot of selfishness, self preservation, fear. Everyone is in control of themselves making sure that everything is functional, appearing well. Therefore this control itself creates alot of vices as there is deceit along the way. The shamans have described western society as a 'sick' one, out of balance - the white man has greed in his eyes and fear in his skin. Yes we all want to escape, better ourselves, get out of the shit, become holy in some way or other.
