Absurdity and contradictions of today's »iron curtains«
Andrija Crnković
Abstract
It seems that peaceful times in which common people believed in sublime spirits and their good intentions have long gone. It is getting increasingly harder for a modern man to catch the rhythm of disturbances imposed by himself to his impaired life. Imprisoned in a working and production dimension, a consumer of our time does not succeed to distinguish new textures of non-freedom. At the same time, horrible challenges are bursting from all sides. In a stormy night of self-generated restrictions, terrified people find it increasingly easier to avoid the strain of thinking, and are always ready to pay more to get less and less. Immersed in fear and trembling, a speech on advancement is everywhere dying: a scent of moral bankruptcy is being spread on the networked planet, while new calendars of terror explosively let know that we are entering a period of even greater tensions and blindness. However, one is not to despair. We are not living in a Greek tragedy in which a blind fate is reigning with an outcome well known in advance, regardless of the hero's actions. Permanent intervention in favour of man should not become superfluous. Freedom is to be conquered continually, it is not possible just to own it. It goes without saying, the stake in the game is the idea of humanity itself. A deep faith is preserved here and therefore, there is an abundance of undefeated hope here.
