Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

From the Tao Te Ching

18

When the great Tao is forgotten,
Kindness and morality arise.
When wisdom and intelligence are born,
The great pretence begins.

When there is no peace within the family,
Filial piety and devotion arise.
When the country is confused and in chaos,
Loyal ministers appear.

The Feelies

Aldous Huxley wrote about the feelies in his book, a brave new world. They were akin to our movies today but the watcher would be plugged into something that would allow them to feel the sensations of the characters on screen. Now we have movies and shows that are latent with psychological cues for our bodies to produce certain emotional responses which bring about real chemical changes in our bodies; as our organs and glands produce excretions when stimulated.

You should be mindful of how you feel when watching TV or movies and how you feel after they are over.
