Modern Life is Rubbish

“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage and kindness… The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.” ~ Howard Zinn.

Philosophy of Liberty



"You exist in Time. This is manifest in Future='Life', Present='Liberty', Past='The Product of your Life and Liberty'. To lose your Life is to lose your Future. To lose your Liberty is to lose your Present. And to lose the 'Product of your Life and Liberty' is to lose that portion of your Past that produced it..."

This explanation makes it so clear why liberty is the most important element in the 'present'. And also why oppressive governments are causing the natural progress of life and even time to come to a standstill or worse, revert back to an earlier cycle.

Liberty is part of the natural law of the universe. It is part of Life. To deny people their liberty is to force humanity to lose their past, present and future.

Once they took away our liberties, taking our lives and properties will be so much easier. Taking our lives and properties could be easily seen or perceived. But the taking of liberties is an insidious process and invisible to most people.
