Jewish
New Year. Holiday here. Don't feel anything special. 3 years ago
my New Year's item was different, talked about energies, praying,
cleansing… very spiritual. Nothing special or spiritual for
me this year. I take my bicycle and go down town, passing all the
ultra religious neighborhoods on the way, pass them in speed as
they walk festively on the car empty roads all dressed in white
and their best costumes, fox's fur hats. The children shout at me
"Shabes". Feels like shouting something nasty back, but
I give up, can't educate them, or their parents. I fear that when
nano-technology will be capable of changing people's consciousness
it will be used by Coca Cola and fascist presidents, or even worse;
religious leaders. Not us for sure. Oh, what a frightening idea…
Was talking today with Udi "wise Man Amram", about my fantasy alternative TV projects, trying to change people's minds, concepts. Really feels like doing it, but I also know it's pathetic of me expecting any influence on main stream humanity. Being here in Jerusalem again with all this hopeless religious happening makes me aggressive. Can't stand seeing masses of people following obsolete concepts so blindly and faithfully, killing and dying for them. It's still a wonder for me, after all these years. As I experience life, 95% of Humanity is so ignorant and unintelligent (or: 5% of Humanity is miserably out of place) and that's being very generous with numbers and gentle with words. Yesterday, an hour or two before the New Year's Eve I cycled down town, almost empty, most people in their homes or synagogue, preparing for the New Year's feast. Things get clearer then, when only the fringe, insignificant, out of mainstream individuals are out, pointing symbolically at the elements constructing this certain society. Like homeless patriot Dov leaning on the poster announcing the building of the palace to welcome the messiah, the late Lubavitcher Rabbi. |
