Democracy today means "manipulated consent". Fromm is so correct!!

[cskor]

Fromm was an indelible influence on my life -- "Art of Loving"

@carlmelanson1 It's necessary to modify your frame of reference to include the fact that necessary resources are actually abundant.

What a brilliant fellow

[nevermind086]

How far is this conversation from the actual situation around the world ?

is almost prophetic ?

[spiritmong]

Religion may provide you with real meaning but we are all indivuduals. Personally, I can't get any meaning from something that has no basis in reality, not that I'm against it. It just doesn't feel right for me.

Peace.

I would not recommend religion to anyone, in any case.

i recommend all of you to plz watch Yusuf Estes videos on youtube who was a former priest from california

this world is functiong on give and take formula in order to get something you have to loose something only religion provides you with real meaning so search for it before its too late you will feel contentment even "if your pockets are empty and even if no one is out there to love you"

but you have to work hard for it

as we do for our apparent being....

@mayurasana no.. democracy as in demo (crowd or mob) and cracy (rule) has, and always will, mean 'mob rule', the problem is, that is has always been in reality, mob UNDER rule..
