Kodėl mes turime idealus? Pirma, tikimės, kad turėdami idealą galėsime atsikratyti, pakeisti, pakoreguoti ar transformuoti faktą. Aš esu smurtingas, todėl naudojuosi nesmurtingumo idealu, kad atsikratyčiau savo smurtingumo. Dabar pažiūrėkite, kas atsitiko! Faktas yra tas, kad aš esu smurtingas, o idealas visai nėra faktas, jis yra žodinis, idėja; ir su ta idėja aš tikiuosi, kad galėsiu atsikratyti savo smurtingumo. Idealas sukurtas todėl, kad noriu pabėgti nuo fakto, ir taip aš sukūriau prieštaravimą. Tuo tarpu, jei pažvelgčiau į faktą, į faktą, kad esu smurtingas, galėčiau susidoroti su tuo faktu. Arba man patinka smurtas, arba nepatinka. Ir kadangi dauguma žmonių myli smurtą, jie jį išlaiko. Ir jei tai yra faktas ir jums jis patinka, tai viskas gerai; išlaikykite jį, būkite smurtingi ir kalbėkite apie taiką ir visa kita, bet žinokite, kad taip elgdamiesi apgaudinėjate kitus ir save. Bet jei jums tai nepatinka, kam turėti idealą? Jei jums tai nepatinka, galite su tuo susidoroti dabar.

Why do we have ideals? First, we hope that by having an ideal, we shall be able to get rid of, alter, modify or change the fact. I am violent, and I use the ideal of non-violence to help me get rid of my violence. Now look at what has happened! The fact is I am violent, and the ideal is not a fact at all, it is verbal, an idea; and with that idea I hope I can get rid of my violence. The ideal is created because I want to escape from the fact, and so I have created a contradiction. Whereas, if I look at the fact, the fact that I am violent, I can deal with that fact. Either I like violence, or I don’t like it. And as most people love violence, they keep it. And if it is a fact and you like it, it is all right; you keep it, be violent and talk about peace and all the rest of it, but know that, by doing this, you are deceiving others and yourself. But if you don’t like it, why have the ideal? If you don't like it, you can deal with it now.

#Day138 of #365HappyDays sees the completion of the #crochet project I started on #day122. It hasn’t taken my that long to do it in reality though. I’ve only made it when I’ve been in work, between jobs. It’s probably taken me three actual evenings to do. I’m quite happy with the result. It’s for Harry, of #day121 fame.
