im like a pressured water pipe... unstable

Now I was totally expecting to have a very easy day with absolutely no homework at all. I was planning on sleeping early and actually getting a proper night’s sleep. Then I was reminded of this blog post, to say I’m a bit bitter would be an understatement. So thanks for the short notice on the blog Mr. D, you should definitely poke a few more holes in the water pipe, ie. Stop all these blog posting homework things for a while; we should all go on that field trip.

Anyways, I feel like “water under pressure in a pipe… pierce it once…what a jet!... [pierce] it twenty times [and there is] twenty piddling little fountains.” The concept is clear, simply relieve the pressure and it will no longer be pressure, just add more outlets. The simple manipulation of people’s experiences lead to extraordinary results where the population has succumbed into nothing but experimental successes. All they needed was stability for there was “no civilization without social stability [and] no social stability without individual stability.” When desires were repressed strong emotion came about, thus along with it, came instability.

From the moment of creation the embryos are manipulated in order to fit society. They are then conditioned to feel or desire certain things. They needed to get rid of unnecessary feeling because “feeling lurks in that interval of time between desire and its consummation. Shorten the interval, break down all those old unnecessary barriers.” By giving the people their desire in almost an instant, they are able to repress feelings from harboring. Whether it’s an immediate bottle when hungry during infancy, or to fulfill a sexual gratification, it is always within easy reach for “every one belongs to every one else.” They have all been conditioned so well that even the slightest gap would lead to a “horrible” emotion.

The thought of monogamy or family connections was eradicated, considered to be unspeakable and completely horrendous. Promiscuity was encouraged for it was not encouraged for anyone to form a bond that was anything more that temporary or casual. “It’s such horribly bad form to go on and on like this with one man.” It was promiscuity that was the social norm, as opposed to monogamy which has a greater emphasis in our culture. Even from childhood it was encouraged, if not necessary, to be involved in “a rudimentary sexual game.” Thos who did not want to fully participate were sent to see the Assistant Superintendant of Psychology in order to assess their fault and rectify it.

Normal human experiences were molded into necessary forms in order to fit the expectations of the social norm. To go against it would suggest a deep physiological problem.

I’ve now been up past midnight again, it’s been like this for the past months, this is getting really crazy, not to mention tiring. Maybe if I write it down then it will not occur again… but that’s just wishful thinking really. My blog postings have been becoming progressively shorter as each one passes by, it’s a bit disheartening. School is significantly draining my ability to process and communicate, funny how that works. Alright I’m done now, it’s time to turn in.
