hi. i was watching this video of laitman saying that freedom of speech should be curbed in some way (in agreement with the EU, that’s what he said). and i understand that he’s saying something about freedom itself and the spiritual, and that people should not just shout things (that there’s no real value in that), and that you should not hurt anyone.
but the thing that i wonder since he is siding with a specific law that limits speech, how could anyone do that? freedom of speech is not about wanting to say things, it’s about preventing tyranny. so how could he not understand that?
freedom of speech is also about creating a situation that prevents total destruction, and creates some opportunity in life, because there is no way of dealing with people who think being offended is a reason to attack you. that is the reason for violence in general. that is the reason why anyone gets angry and violent. so from a system perspective, you have to condemn violence, not speech. and you can never have a system that forces us to answer to them. they will take over like terrorists.
the previous lessons made me feel hopeful about life and the world.
to be honest i’m afraid though to find out the real reason why things are bad in this world is me.
What most inspired me in the course?
1. that there is hope.
What have I learned about myself in the process?
2. that my entire problem is that i thought there wasn’t hope.
What do I wish for my fellow students in their spiritual development?
3. nothing. i’m still too egoistic to care about anyone else but myself.i watched a video where tony says that without a group trying to achieve the goal is completely moving target. i still don’t understand why it’s something you can’t achieve alone. i never really understood it. isn’t like “giving” such an immensely broad goal that it’s not difficult to miss?
