...Discontent is the beginning of freedom...
...and as long as you are trying to manipulate discontent...
...to accept authority in order that this discontent shall disappear...
...enter into safe channels...
...then you are already losing that pristine sense of real feeling...
...Most of us are discontented...
...either with our jobs , our relationships , or whatever we are doing...
...You want something to happen , to change , to move , to break through...
...You do not know what it is...
...There is a constant searching , inquiring , especially when one is young , open , sensitive...
...Later on , as you become old , you settle down in your habits , your job...
...because your family is safe , your wife will not run away...
...So this extraordinary flame disappears...
...and you become respectable , petty , and thoughtless...
Sunday
...I reject the present pattern of social structures...
...the nonsensical irreligious ways...
...I reject all that...
...So I am totally isolated...
...This isolation is not an escape to some form of ivory tower or into some romantic illusion...
...Because I see the futility , the divisiveness in the pursuit of self-interest and nationalism...
...in expansionism , in the irreligious life...
...I reject the total destructiveness of this society...
...So I stand alone...
...As I am not then contributing psychologically to the destructive consciousness of man...
...I am in the stream of that which is goodness , compassion and intelligence...
...That intelligence is acting , confronting the madness of the present world...
...That intelligence will act wherever the ugly is...
