CREATE Or DESTROY
Dear Friends:
Some people earn -- while others feel sociopathologically content is stealing from them. Some people create, while others destroy. Some invent, while others ridicule. Some are the avatars of change, while others burn them at the stake.
In our society, we tend to worship destroyers and promote them. The prosecutors rise to power while the innovators are trampled into the ground. The fear-mongers frighten us, but we somehow feel that they are protecting us. They are actually the perpetuators of fear -- they pander to our comfort with stability, mediocrity and paranoia. They keep us safe --- just like prison guards.
Are you a creator, or a destroyer? Which spirit do you admire? Will you cement the bricks, or take a wrecking ball to them, while others cheer your victory over "dangerous" new designs and ideas?
Will you nourish the evolution of mind and spirit, and encourage creativity and potential -- or will you ban and burn books, quash all protest, reward inertia? Living in fear, and worshipping its champions keeps us enslaved. And ironically, we fear the rebellious, questioning aspects in ourselves almost as much as we fear those others who constantly remind us that we can be an amazing, creative species.
Embracing mediocrity is like doing a dance with the Grim Reaper. The Way of INTERNAL ENERGY PLUS demands that we create, and that we encourage others to do the same. There can never be progress or success until we welcome creators instead of crucifying them, simply because they remind us of who we could and should be, and because they challenge us to dream greater dreams, and because they cause us to question the inferior things we have reluctantly chosen to settle for.
Don't let fear crush your spirit, and turn you into a cynic. Be an agent of positive change, and light the way for others to climb out of the pit of intellectual and spiritual imprisonment.
Offer them your open hand, and not your closed fist. Do not cast them out. If we don't fear closeness, there is always some extra room at the Inn.
Faithfully, and in Friendship,
