"Because of the summer holidays I've been reading a lot lately. This time it is even more exiting than the last two times I red it because I have got a bigger understanding now.

Tomorrow, june 24th I will start reading the Dutch translation. I've red some small parts and reading this in my own language touches another (deeper) level."

“What's needed on Earth is love of the dark side of ourselves”
Jeremy Griffith, FREEDOM: The End of the Human Condition

Jeremy Griffith
“Imagine if all the car makers in the world were to sit down together to design one extremely simple, embellishment-free, functional car that was made from the most environmentally-sustainable materials, how cheap to buy and humanity-and-Earth-considerate that vehicle would be. And imagine all the money that would be saved by not having different car makers duplicating their efforts, competing and trying to out-sell each other, and overall how much time that would liberate for all those people involved in the car industry to help those less fortunate and suffering in the world. Likewise, imagine when each house is no longer designed to make an individualised, ego-reinforcing, status-symbol statement for its owners and all houses are constructed in a functionally satisfactory, simple way, how much energy, labour, time and expense will be freed up to care for the wellbeing of the less fortunate and the planet.”

“Throughout history we humans have struggled to find meaning in the awesome contradiction of our human condition. Neither philosophy, nor psychology nor biology has, until now, been able to provide the truthful explanation.”
Jeremy Griffith, FREEDOM: The End of the Human Condition

William Blake
“Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire?”
William Blake
