EPOQUE
|
|
by THE GNN/DCS/uXu
|
|
|
|
epoque, epoch /L'i:-pok, $-pa:k/ n (C): period of time, esp. one in
|
|
which there are new advances or great change. Ex., "The president said
|
|
that his country was moving into a new epoch which would be one of
|
|
lasting peace."
|
|
|
|
They had too much power, it was said. But most of all: they were different,
|
|
they refused to be like everyone else. They did not even look like
|
|
"ordinary people". They dressed differently, they talked differently, they
|
|
acted differently, they held different beliefs and world-views, it was
|
|
said. And it was all true. It could not go any other way, it was also said.
|
|
But that was surely a lie. Even many years after this dark passage in the
|
|
human history, some claim that they had themselves to blame. Because they
|
|
were different from the rest.
|
|
The climax - persecution, victimization, extermination - could only be
|
|
reached with the help of the people and the so-called intellectual elite. A
|
|
small group of people conducted the upshot of the process, yes, but this
|
|
group alone could never have gained any power unless they had the masses on
|
|
their side. It is an art to turn mere irritation into pure hate - an evil
|
|
art, indeed - but still an art that requires careful planning and a
|
|
strategy.
|
|
The strategy was to "tell the truth." And, as you might expect, the
|
|
"truths" in question were that they had too much power, that they were
|
|
evil, that they wanted no good, that their sole mission in life was to give
|
|
decent, honest and ordinary people a hard time - for profit, for fun, for
|
|
the sake of it, etc. These "truths" were of course lies, but even the
|
|
boldest lies of today can become the enlightenment of tomorrow if the
|
|
propaganda is right.
|
|
When irritation had been transmuted into hate, when the mob roamed the
|
|
streets encouraged by the silent masses, no one dared to hold different
|
|
opinions. Those who claimed that this public hysteria merely was the result
|
|
of ignorance mixed with a primitive drive for revenge would soon be lined
|
|
up to face execution - for the sake of "the public good." The majority had
|
|
given their verdict, and the majority is always right, just because it in
|
|
fact is the majority. Hence, to claim that the majority was wrong was a
|
|
sheer logical mistake, equal to stating "this sentence is false." The
|
|
strangest thing was that few people initially had anything against the
|
|
different. For decades and centuries they had walked the streets like
|
|
anyone else. Their appearance was nothing special. Well, of course, they
|
|
were different, but no one cared - in the same sense as no one care if some
|
|
people dress in black, others in white. What was it that happened? Did the
|
|
group of people who conducted the process hypnotize the masses into hate?
|
|
In a sense, yes, in another sense, no. People in general want to do good,
|
|
no matter what the pessimists say, but their opinion on who is bad and who
|
|
is not is not seldom quite narrow-minded.
|
|
People in general fancy no complicated explanations on the notions of
|
|
"good" and "bad," they take what they see and believe it. And if someone
|
|
presents to them a sparkling clear message, simple and apparently true,
|
|
concerning who is evil and who is not, people believe this. If someone else
|
|
enters the scene and begin to complicate things no one is interested to
|
|
listen. The world is complicated, complex and utterly hard to understand;
|
|
people in general know this, but they deny it. They want the world to be
|
|
simple. People in general, these damn people in general!
|
|
Imagine that you are watching a public debate. Imagine that you are
|
|
bored to death with it, because you really have no clue what it is about.
|
|
The people on stage just go on and on and on and on with analyzing problems
|
|
you do not understand. Yet you are fully aware of the fact that the world
|
|
is filled with defects and these needs to be repaired. So you keep on
|
|
listening, dozing off now and then. Until... A little man enters the stage,
|
|
charismatic, energetic! He speaks like a God, he tells you that all
|
|
problems in the world can be solved easily! Damn right you listen! He tells
|
|
you that a group of people is to be blamed, a corrupted group that has too
|
|
much power. A group of people that is like a clan, an octopus with eight
|
|
arms that stretches all over the world. They have existed for a long time,
|
|
and during this time they have slowly taken over the world. They keep track
|
|
of you, they want to obliterate you and the entire humanity. They are the
|
|
fundamental reason for all evil there is. And you know what? Those people
|
|
you have watched on stage, why have they not understood this? Because they
|
|
are also involved in this group - the conspiracy! They are paid to uphold
|
|
meaningless debates, so that the evil group can continue their crusade for
|
|
world domination. You are fooled! Let's rock!
|
|
All wrongdoing is done in the sincere belief that it is the best thing
|
|
to do. What happened next we all know. Victimization, extermination - then,
|
|
insight and shame. A violent party the night before, a hellish mental
|
|
hangover the morning after. "How could... they do it?" people said,
|
|
emphasizing "they," trying to give the impression that they had nothing to
|
|
do with it.
|
|
Now, over fifty years later, people still wonder what went wrong.
|
|
Different intellectuals hold different views on who is to blame. The
|
|
people? The so-called intellectual elite of that time? The instigators? No
|
|
one really knows. But what one and everyone know for sure is that it may
|
|
not happen again. As it seemingly happened so easily the last time, people
|
|
are constantly paranoid. They are afraid that their neighbors, children,
|
|
relatives or politicians might secretly sympathize with the old garde -
|
|
that there is a conspiracy somewhere in the country that aim to seize power
|
|
with lies, and then "hypnotize" the people into performing horrible deeds
|
|
(yes, people of today still refuse to accept that the people of the bad old
|
|
days were not "hypnotized," merely unintelligent and narrow-minded, as the
|
|
people of today are too).
|
|
Learn from history, teachers shout, but it seems hard (not to say
|
|
impossible). Hell - no wonder! What people learn from history is that we
|
|
must not commit the same mistakes again. History may not repeat itself, it
|
|
is constantly said. History may not repeat itself! it is yelled. History
|
|
may not repeat itself! Learn from history! History may not repeat itself!
|
|
Keep this in mind! History may not repeat itself! Never, ever!
|
|
Well then, why does history seem to repeat itself? Why do we commit
|
|
horrible deeds even if we are well aware of history?
|
|
Because it is not true that history repeats itself. People do mistakes
|
|
over and over again, but seldom, if ever, exactly the same mistakes. We are
|
|
sometimes too preoccupied not to make the same mistakes all over again so
|
|
that we open up possibilities of doing other, even more dreadful, mistakes.
|
|
What will happen in the future? No one knows. But the masses will rise
|
|
again, that I am sure about. They will be convinced that their petty
|
|
problems can be solved easily. I am one of the few survivors of yet another
|
|
dark epoch in human history.
|
|
We had too much power, some people began to claim 1998. We were
|
|
organized criminals, half of the population shouted 2001. We wanted to do
|
|
bad things, for fun, for profit, for the sake of it, was the absolute truth
|
|
of 2004. We had to die, was the code of law 2006. Most of us died between
|
|
2009-2015. Our crime?
|
|
You already know, if you think really hard - if you make an effort to
|
|
look away from your petty problems for one second and face the major facts.
|
|
I am not the writer of this text. I am a voice of the future - and I know
|
|
that you will commit the same mistake people before you have committed: the
|
|
mistake of ignorance, the mistake of upholding the false belief that
|
|
everything You see in front of Your eyes is everything there is, that
|
|
complex problems have simple solutions.
