We live on a planet controlled by psychopaths. It may be wise to change our point of view in order to avoid the contagion of their insanity.

ZOMBIES:
ALIVE, YET DEAD.
THEY EAT FLESH.
THEY BREATHE THE AIR.
THEY WALK UPON THE EARTH.
THeiR BODIES DIE: YET THEY LIVE.
THEY DO NOT REMEMBER WHO THEY ARE.
THEY GO TO WORK, PAY TAXES, MAKE BABIES, LIVE, DIE.
THEY RISE FROM THE DEAD AND LIVE AGAIN, AND AGAIN.
THEY NEVER QUESTION WHO THEY ARE, WHERE, OR WHY.
THEY OBEY, FOLLOW LEADERS. DULL, MINDLESS CREATURES.
GO TO CHURCH, VOTE FOR CANDIDATES: REGRET THeiR LIvEs.
A NORMAL HOMO SAPIENS: AGREE. AGREE. AGREE. AGREE. AGREE.

“It was possible, no doubt, to imagine a society in which wealth, in the sense of personal possessions and luxuries, should be evenly distributed, while power remained in the hands of a small privileged caste. But in practice such a society could not long remain stable. For if leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings who are normally stupefied by poverty would become literate and would learn to think for themselves; and when once they had done this, they would sooner or later realise that the privileged minority had no function, and they would sweep it away. In the long run, a hierarchical society was only possible on a basis of poverty and ignorance.”
“The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labour. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent.”

About the painting: “Circe Offering the Cup to Ulysses” is an oil painting in the Pre-Raphaelite style by John William Waterhouse that was created in 1891. The painting depicts a scene from Greek mythology, the sorceress Circe offering Odysseus a cup containing a potion with which she seeks to bring him under her spell as she has his crew.
In Greek mythology, Circe (pronounced “Keer-keeh” “falcon”) is a minor goddess of magic (or sometimes a nymph, witch, enchantress or sorceress). By most accounts, Circe was the daughter of Helios, the god of the sun, and Perse, an Oceanid. Her brothers were Aeetes, the keeper of the Golden Fleece and Perses, and her sister was Pasiphaë, the wife of King Minos and mother of the Minotaur. Other accounts make her the daughter of Hecate. Circe was renowned for her vast knowledge of drugs and herbs. Through the use of magical potions and a wand she transformed her enemies, or those who offended her, into animals.
