About the lack of Sun (Tsemra Igly)

Do you often see teenagers who, after the release of a new film or TV series, begin to copy the behavior of a conditional Wednesday Addams or Spider-Man? Or people who constantly repeat every word from the information environment. Be it a political, religious ideology or the fashion for hooded socks, they always want to run after the herd and be in trend. Personally, I see this literally everywhere.

All sorts of marketing gives ads for products with slogans: “For smart and free”, “For real men”, “What caring mothers choose”, and politicians equate personal feelings of patriotism with the choice of their party at the polls. Particularly gifted religions put an equal footing between “worship our god” and “be spiritual, moral and developed.” In short, everyone who is not too lazy is trying to foist identification with them on you instead of your own identity.

And people accept it. Associate themselves with brands, religions, countries, gender, ties themselves to some movement, fans of some team, readers of some writer. At the same time, they put these external attributes much higher than their personality and the personalities of other people, which results in confusions of various scales.

For example, a man will consider a woman a second-rate creature only because she does not have a penis. Or an iPhone owner will refuse to date with a guy if he has an Android (haha you might think, and in the US, according to statistics, a significant proportion of Apple owners do this regardless of gender). The most crazy examples I personally encountered were units that refused to listen to songs that were more than a year old, and also proudly declared that they only watch bloggers who have more than a million subscribers.

But the irony is that in reality, such individuals simply become an appendix to the world of things and essentially devalue themselves. They reduce their personality and their worldview to a pale +1 to million subscribers. They nullify any of their achievements by putting the brand of their phone first. They subscribe to the fact that their personality, intellect, feelings, dreams, aspirations, character, and they themselves are nothing more than a pathetic appendage to the head of a penis. There are none of them without these objects. And that’s it.

The same situation plays out on a quieter and more socially accepted scale. “I’m not me, I’m an appendage to the image of a proper girl.” “I’m not me, I’m an appendage to the image of a successful businessman.” “I’m not me, I’m an appendage to the image of a movie actress.” “I’m not me, I’m an appendage from the profession of a cashier/role of a mother.” All this is one big universal problem with a deviation of Surya plane. Almost every person in this world does not have themselves in any form. And if they are themselves, they often look at themselves through the eyes of another person who was once in their life, and this deviates their self-esteem. And this is why it hurts inside, and breeds pain outside, and feels wrong place in this world, and suffers from this only more.

The world is in dire need of the Sun. It is literally sick from the lack of clear solar units in its composition. And therefore, society is shaking back and forth, now to the left, now to the right, now to cholera, now to the plague, and no matter how you twist it, everything comes in the options for choosing the paths of life of the community to the axiom of Escobar. Because things and phantoms from the past are not capable of being the center for society and the force that will purposefully lead it to the good. This can only be done by a certain critical quantity of individuals ready to influence the world. And to do it, they have to exist. And be themselves, and not a tool for creating a picture.

Therefore, the minimum that someone can do to level this imbalance is to create themselves and their Sun, finally growing a pair of their own eyes to look at the world and themselves. And their own head, so that it can think independently.
