“I don't tip because society says I have to. All right, if someone deserves a tip, if they really put forth an effort, I'll give them something a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, it's for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they're just doing their job.”

Mr Pink in ‘Reservoir Dogs’ by Quentin Tarantino

Over the past weeks I was continuously confronted with many people telling me that they have lost their faith in the system we know today. After inquiring I came to the common denominator that they think of the system as a form of mass betrayal, a tool to achieve mental enfeeblement and confusion, a cage where we are free to roam and lets us decide on the value of freedom – Simple words are used to explain the also simple word ‘Freedom’ which is defined as a state of free will. So I conclude that these people who are in disbelief feel their will is not free and they are subconsciously being forced to do the things they do in this prison, in this panopticon?

Now to make this clear, I am not your friendly flight attendant serving you all the answers on a cheap plastic tray (Leaving out the fact that you didn’t pay to get here). I am rather willing to contemplate and discuss with you on your thoughts about this – Yes you, dear reader! Oh I did use the word ‘will’, so I must have a free will? Or did I get this notion through an idea implanted into my thoughts at some earlier stage; did everything fall into place like this to reach you at this very moment?

Did the sun rise this morning to wake you up from a dream in which you fell down a twelve story building and hit the pavement which dissolved into a meadow covered in wildflowers. This experience now results in making it your first task after arising to think about something very positive such as flowers dancing in the wind. This thought conveys the notion of happiness into your sub consciousness and is kept throughout the day right until the point in which your bike has a flat tire just before you saddle up to head to work. The extra five minutes it takes to get your bike ready again will save your life, preventing you from being hit by a drunkard speeding around the corner – You were on time and weren’t on time. Where did the mere fact that you dreamt of wildflowers emerge from? Was it a documentary you saw on the television while skipping through the channels? Documentaries produced by a man or woman who believed in showing the world some happiness by scouting the places untouched by human hand and show that image to convey positive thoughts into the viewers’ heads. It is the drivers’ face you will see on the screens of the afternoon news and pity him and his deeds.

LIFE - It is all happening around us, we all are in control and we are all free – It is just about us, there is no one else.

It his mankind itself, its ghosts and its curses – Its blessings; its grace

  Tell me, do you feel awake and do you not want to put your free will into a pretentious higher institution which will do all the thinking for you?

A boundary is not that at which something stops but, as the Greeks recognized, the boundary is that from which something begins its presencing.

Martin Heidegger  'Building, dwelling, thinking'
