This is exert from the novel The English Assassin by Micheal Moorcock. I find this extremely profound. Is this really why the world never changes ? Or is this concept out of date now that we have the internet ? After all views can be shared world wide, and minority groups can spread their views and corrupt the young with views far from their parents traditional ones... There again there is that saying about the first 7 years of a childs life being imprinted on their outlook for ever. Maybe this theory can just be swallowed whole and accepted, and then we can relax, give up and just live ?
Very interesting. I was thinking of something similar today after I watched a film about this creature that takes over humans and imitates them. Going to write about it.
ReplyDeleteSound good. I watched It Follows and enjoyed it. I then watched Fallen which has a similar idea about something thing that can stalk you. You should watch that if you havent already.
