The Changing of Clocks; Politics or Seasonal ?

Most of civilization, as we call it, is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice.
You water down all standards which would lead to any form of bravery. The State restrains your will; it regulates all appetites; including hopes, wishes and desires across a wide spectrum of daily life. Your horizons are fenced in.
The State which is made up of certain types of personalities, makes laws for every movement and moment of your life. You deny the existence of any form of chaos. You teach your children to breath slowly and not get excited.
You become tamed by those types that feel a desire,a pathological need to control every aspect of peoples lives because they feel that they know what is good for you. It is all done in your name; "for the good of the people" of which you are one. And you comply...
Dangers lurk in all systems. Systems incorporate the unexamined beliefs of their creator "god". The system becomes your way of life; you accept all of its beliefs and you help facilitate and strengthen any resistance to change even they should urge you to keep looking back to those so called "golden ages" of times that actually never existed in any recognizable form through what is labeled for you as "nostalgia'...
Nostalgia represents an interesting illusion. Through 'nostalgia' people start wishing for things that never were. Actual memories and 'nostalgic memories are always at odds as to which was real or an illusion that you think makes you feel better as opposed to the hard realities of the now. Over a few generations actual memory tends to weed out more and more of what really was refining them down to a distillation of simple human desires for a better future.
Word images begin to distort the instant of utterance. Ideas imbedded in a language require that particular language for expression. This is the very essence of the meaning within the word 'nostalgia' It distorts reality from what was to what could be , which as then actually a possible future of a time and reality which in fact never existed for a better life. The haze of nostalgia covers a time ,making those times something entirely different than they actually were. That is the way today changes history. All contemporaries do not inhabit the same time. The past is always changing, but few ever realize it. Turning clocks back in season is one thing but not turning them back by decades of time , to when the State actually did regulate every moment of peoples lives and for everyone to conform; to comply or you were punished in some way, be it ostracized by those eager to conform or brutalized by a penal system organized by those who were eager to comply to make all others obey. Systems like that depend on their people being cowards...
Nothing is morally sacred, or fixed eternally in marble, about a country or form of government or regime. Rather, the only sensible justification in either preserving or changing is that doing so would clearly provide the greatest amount of liberty and well being to all the people who live there. Turning clocks back is only required because of season, not politics which are only as temporary as as the latest fashion craze, yet so based on lies, falsehoods that may totally divert a potentially bright future into a living nightmare ruled over by those who would otherwise be under psychiatric treatment in an isolated institution. People generally look forward to contribute to the betterment of as many as possible, not backwards to repression for all.
