All sensations and their consequent effects upon the body and Reason can be compared to the mouth of any great river which empties out into a vast sea. Ideas flow freely upon the river, making their way towards the mass that welcomes them, sometimes slowing to a trickle, enabling us to wade long enough to engage in their meaning. Every citizen may sip from its waters as freely as it flows, and if so inclined, may sit nearby, under a shady spot, and contemplate its contents.
One only needs to witness the salmon swimming upstream once, however, to realize that not all of these ideas and thoughts flow as easily as prior Utopian feelings may have hoped for. The salmon work upstream, away from the mouth of the delta or outflowing of any stream or brook, in order to spawn and multiply their chances for its species' survival. Radical thought and ideas also wish to occasionally " swim against the current." We can all purge ourselves of every opinion and idea that arises in our brains , but can we also allow entrance of "external notions, apart from our foetal well of ideas and nourish them to become our own and One with the essence of Humans? That is, are we so egotistical, nay naive, to believe that all our opinions can be unleashed to the world but that there may be some eager ideas, (fighting the "bearish" tenacity of Society), that wish to find their home within us? Those thoughts not borne of ourselves, but rather, orphans to our souls to adopt and feed in order to culminate the Universal and "metaphysical animal."
The current flows in one direction, completely in it of itself, and always in our own finite conception of Space and Time, however notions struggling to make their way to the source, fighting the current, must also have their moment in the sun. Never shun that which doesn't derive from you merely because you distrust it. Open up to every possibility, especially those that have been fighting an upstream battle for all of eternity, and engage, (perhaps for the first time), in a more worldly, a more global, community. If given the chance, this society can multiply and live in the realm of tangible dreams.

some of us know how the others should develop through a difficult desert and fears in order to find who we are what the hell is this whole about? and there comes a day we start telling essence from acessory. reaching this stage our inner growing is about reaching a significant state and we look around with a smile or not, and start understanding that for almost an entire life we didn't undesrtand any thing.
