Too much of the good make us uneasy.
We cannot live here and now. Too much holidays make us bored - we must
seek inspiration in useless things - sport, gardening, art, collecting
things and playing games online. Too much sugar make the whole western
world heavy and stiff, only the use of fluoride makes this possible
without destroying the teeth - one poison against another - to much of
different poisons and its poisonous antidotes, sooner or later makes
people sick and in the subtle zone of body-mind strange things
happen - too strange to understand - the riddle of cancer - the riddle of
anorexia - the riddle of addiction and overdoses.
Too much of everything is dangerous and in
politics EU is coming close to Turkey after taking in the former Soviet
Satellites and small states, like Sweden, have to explain how it was
possible to build the over-consumption state in the middle of war and post
war starvation in the east. How was it possible to make too much of
everything - pollution, industrial architecture, factories and
plants, toys and supermarkets - while the millions of the east had to suck
the bottle of vodka to stand the grim realities of communist life, where
only Red Army weaponry were prioritized?
Always too little of something.
Scars of unsafety, revolutionary scars; families extinct but a few survivors,
strengthened by the accidents, suddenly is in charge of everything, in
former dialectic-materialistic satellite states.
In the healed region a broken bone seldom
breaks again.
In the cracks, life begins is a
geological observation that could be used as a metaphor for something
psychological; to much safety makes young people less and less scared and
willing to mensur fight again - searching the risk - close to death
- swirling on the motorbikes - swirling in space, landing on the
moon. Grown up risk taking is certainly more spectacular than the risk taking
of the kid, but the one is as dangerous as the other.
Childish dreams come real in the technology of grown up men and women.
Scientists and politicians can now and then realize the impossible - go to
the moon, split the atom and now the gene.
Strange things happen on the fronts of biological technology.
New life forms see the light. Man creates new
species.
In the cracks of ethics the new world grows - gruesome in the
catastophical aspects but beautiful under the world view of the Evolution.
Spacetime ethics is something else than
the tree dimensional ethics of the dialectic materialism, but time heals
all wounds, for the believers as well as for the skeptics.
