GUARDIANS OF THE MASSES
|
|
by THE GNN/DualCrew-Shining/uXu
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On the streets, in public places, perhaps even in your own house, you will
|
|
notice a peculiar phenomenon: the lack of space. Wherever you look they are
|
|
always there, carrying their small minds, small problems and small
|
|
personalities as if it was a trophy. They have conquered the world and now
|
|
they try to conquer the minds of their guardians. They want to shape their
|
|
guardians into statues of themselves, they aim at the global conformity.
|
|
Everyone ought to be like them, they say, because they are the rulers of
|
|
the world. Their interests, their problems and their personalities must
|
|
overtake the world. They are the masses, the 'common people'. Their
|
|
guardians are the few people who own the precious ability to think. This is
|
|
the hard and brutal truth of today, exposed and presented without mercy.
|
|
The mass-man of today is ignorant, but he does not understand that. On
|
|
the contrary; the mass-man thinks of himself as a very aware and open-minded
|
|
individual. He truly believes that his problems must be solved, since the
|
|
future well-being of the world rests upon them. As a child cries and thinks
|
|
the world has fallen apart when a toy is broken, the mass-man sees his agony
|
|
as justified. The mass-man thinks he is unique, because the masses keep
|
|
telling each other so. In fact, he is not unique: he is a mass-man, a part
|
|
of the masses, a part of the cancer that has swallowed society.
|
|
Do not flatter yourself with the belief that you have come to the
|
|
conclusion that the masses are the workers, the uneducated or the poor. If
|
|
you believe so, you are terribly wrong. Education, wealth or social status
|
|
is no criteria on who is a mass-man or who is not. The mass-men does not
|
|
even have to share the same ideas or ideologies. On the surface, they might
|
|
look like completely different persons, but when you find the fundamental
|
|
grounds you will see that they are all the same. They just dress themselves
|
|
and their thoughts differently.
|
|
The real individuals, the real owners of the real problems, the real
|
|
owners of real knowledge are the guardians. The guardians may look like
|
|
mass-men, but in their minds you will not, as in the mass-man, find
|
|
simplicity but complexity. Do not mix this form of 'complexity' with the
|
|
concept of 'confusion.' The guardian is a very aware person. He sees right
|
|
through the simple questions and the simple answers. He knows that the world
|
|
is complex, but he strives to understand this complexity. He does not, as
|
|
the mass-man does, worship simple dogmas in any form. He loves knowledge and
|
|
he constantly tries to reach the utopia of full understanding. The guardian
|
|
need not to be a scientist, because scientists are often the worst mass-men
|
|
of all. The guardian trusts his sight and his mind. The mass-man can never
|
|
understand how the guardians think. But the guardians know very well the
|
|
anatomy of the masses, and the mass-man.
|
|
The guardians are not popular among the masses. In fact, the worst enemy
|
|
to be found for a mass-man is a guardian. Looking at the guardian, the
|
|
mass-man will not see himself. He will see a stranger. The mass-man gains no
|
|
support for his simple views of the world from the guardian. Instead, he
|
|
will be silenced. The guardian will explain why the mass-man is wrong, and
|
|
not only that - he will also reveal that the mass-man is a part of the
|
|
masses. This is too much for the mass-man. He will refuse to listen. He will
|
|
accuse the guardian of blasphemy, he will claim that the guardian plays
|
|
with words, he will use violence to keep the guardian away from him and the
|
|
masses. The guardian, however, will not be shocked. He knows the mass-man,
|
|
and he knows why they react the way they do. Still, he will keep on guarding
|
|
them. The guardians guard the masses.
|
|
Knowledge is sought by the guardians. They want to build a better world,
|
|
not because they love the masses, but because they care. They pity the
|
|
mass-man, but they will not turn their backs on them. The guardians are
|
|
no cynics. Those who throw cynical thoughts around them are mass-men who
|
|
believe that they are intellectual, that they have 'seen through it all.'
|
|
The mass-man has no moral. He just wants to satisfy his primitive drives,
|
|
nothing else. He need not to learn anything, because he knows everything
|
|
there is to know in his little world. Violence is his only way of
|
|
communication. Totalitarianism and laws, upholded by other mass-men, makes
|
|
him feel secure. Their enemies are freedom, knowledge and everything else
|
|
that might throw them out of their 'safe' world. Hence, the worst enemy
|
|
of them all is the guardian, because he refuses to enter their sphere. The
|
|
guardian has stepped out of the mass-men's sphere, to find the truth and
|
|
to protect the masses meanwhile.
|
|
The masses must be protected. If they were not, the world would soon fall
|
|
apart. The guardians keep the mass-man alive. They do it because they are
|
|
benevolent and caring people. They will never be appreciated, because the
|
|
masses are not aware of the guardians' function. This does not matter: the
|
|
guardians are proud people, fully aware of their noble mission, they need no
|
|
extra encouragement. The very knowledge that the guardians are trying to
|
|
wipe out stupidity in favor for a clear and open mind, is enough for them.
|
|
Last, if it by some reason should not be perfectly obvious from whom
|
|
the masses need to be protected, I will reveal the simple, but yet true,
|
|
answer: from themselves.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
Of course, no one will admit that he is a mass-man.
|
|
This is, by definition of 'mass-man', impossible.
|
|
Instead, all people will place themselves in the
|
|
sphere of the guardians. I suppose you, who read
|
|
this file, have already done that. But if you did
|
|
not know that you were a part of the guardians
|
|
before you read this file, then I must unfortunately
|
|
inform you that you are not, and never will be.
