A JEREMIAD
The symbols, institutions,etc of life have obscured and are gradually stifling the essence of life itself. People neglect the kernel of life and tussle for the shell;they overlook the substance in their pursuit of its shadows. They hold unto one shadow after another and solemnly proclaim it the substance. The human species has reached its climax.Degeneration from now onwards is going to be the case.What we now call progress is but a blind and catastrophic rush to our doom. We are returning to Hobbes' state of nature,and this is appearance in the developments in certain countries of the world (Iraq,Afghanistan,Pakistan,Somalia,etc). There cannot be civilization without improvement in morals. But in each direction we look now our eyes are greet by decadence and perversion (bestiality,homosexuality,pornography and frivolity). The American Dream is now the noisome pestilence of a world tottering on the brink of an apocalypse. The comfort of the body have been sacrifice to its glamour. People think that material prosperity is all that makes life worth living. But this have been repeatedly proven to be untrue. Prosperity carries decay and ruin as its shadows.
