Fear is often humiliating, because once it is recognized as unfounded, one has to admit to wasting opportunities that will never come again. Then one thinks about how much one does not do because of this feeling which, if it is not cowardice, has an undesirable restrictive effect. No one feels at ease when faced with the image of a worse future; however, the means of glimpsing it are so precarious that it is almost always best not to worry.
The Attitude of Someone Who Is Sincerely Looking…
The attitude of someone who is sincerely looking for answers is to be open to all sources of information that may be able to help him in his business, regardless of how reliable they may seem, something that should only be analyzed later. Not to do so would be to close off possibilities beforehand, something unthinkable for someone who wants the truth first and foremost, and therefore craves any clue that might lead to it. In fact, the credibility of a source is only a problem for the hasty journalist, who has to conclude before researching. Apart from that, there is always something useful to be found.
It Takes a While to Understand That…
It takes a while to understand that one can only have, or rather, one can only pursue a small part of what one wants. And so it is necessary to prioritize, to choose. Then, curiously, one discovers that to limit oneself is to distinguish oneself, and that to stick to little is to reward oneself with greater satisfaction. It sounds like a small thing, but the difference is enormous between the average man and the one who has stripped himself of the unnecessary, become lighter and allowed himself to concentrate on what he truly wants.
There Are Inexplicable Experiences…
There are inexplicable experiences, the scale of which can only be grasped by he who has lived them first-hand. One of these is undoubtedly the deceitfulness of modernity. The amount of lies that are taught in schools today, or rather the amount of lies that students assimilate not just as certainties, but with veneration, is something that men from other eras could only understand superficially. Complete falsehoods, such as the history of the French Revolution, or the biographies of figures like Newton, Descartes, Machiavelli, or the emergence of so-called modern science, or the history of the Inquisition, the Catholic Church, slavery, and the list goes on and on, one has to have swallowed and digested them very well to be able, years later, to shake with the proper astonishment at seeing them incontestably debunked by a huge pile of books and documents. All lies! All saturated with ulterior motives! Then one feels the contempt that modernity deserves, and only a good modern is capable of feeling it.
