"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. "
This is a popular Quote by Albert Camus, a famous French Philosopher. When I first came across this quote, it really did hit me hard. Read them again, they are quite empowering/ After all, who doesn't want to be "free"?
Freedom, as it turns out, is something that sells very well among most kinds of people. Mainstream sources like to cook up various stories and draw analogies about how we are living our 'mundane lives' in an 'unfree world', and then suddenly, someone somewhere does something extraordinary to free himself or herself from the chains that bind him/her to mediocrity. Oh! How awesome does it feel to read or see those stories!
This quote takes the idea one step further: you don't need to do anything to free yourself; your mere existence if enough to get the job done. Wow! Pretty empowering.
But I'm not here to talk about bullshit internet stories or mainstream propaganda. I am here to talk about real chains, real issues, real problems that we the modern generation face in our lives. Sometimes we are responsible for weaving the very web that binds us, and we spend decades trying to unweave that, and free ourselves from our own indulgences.
We live in a world where news ideas hatch every day, knowledge is manufactured at a faster pace than we could distribute them; and the world is full of people living along a very broad spectrum of thinking. I am not here to start any activism, rather I am here to try and uncover the truths of life and lay them out, raw and bare as much as they could get.
This is Deus Phyllis, and I am here to make you think and cringe, and hopefully help you see the world with a brand new set of eyes.
Peace.
