Hello to Everyone!
I consider myself alien to this world, but I must admit I'm in love with Earth:)
It is difficult for me to speak, my knowledge about the language is somehow limited I' d say, so please bare we me and forgive me all mistakes.
I decided to speak, because of the words - "Must" "Have to" and "Obligation"
I want to discuss their positive and negative meanings and I'd like to understand with which intention they are spoken. Those words were abused so many times in the past by association with a force which made you(us) do things against your true will, many time for so called "greater good".
As a child I had experience with catholic church, living in the same time under communist blanket. Both those worlds emphasized words "Must" and "Obligation"
for their own purpose to guide their own folks. Than I had my share in all kinds of alternative communities and I've noticed that the same words were abused once again...
I've learned like a pavlov's dog to turn my little red lamp every time somebody repeats those words to often..
Now I'm here sensing that we are already creating something so great, yet with sadness I see the same words popping out again and again..
So My questions are:
Do we need to use these words?
If so how we can "unlock" their true intention....
Or maybe before we use those words we should ask ourselves deep down for their true meaning?
I welcome All to this discussion: Human, Aliens and Machines,
I'm interested in your interpretations, your feelings and your experiences...
I'm not much of a speaker, but I ll try to drop some lines to this discussion - I hope it grows...
I'm glad to be aboard..
Thank You
Greetings,
CL
