“The topics were given to the candidates shortly before 9 a.m., and the essay topic concerned loneliness and old age.” MSM (Mass Media of Deception).
Old age is not a social “footnote” but a mirror of the civilization that produced it. If society trains humans to fear decline instead of giving it meaning, then loneliness is not a natural condition but a constructed one. In contrast, a life lived with measure, awareness, and values turns aging into completion rather than decay.
Before the rooster crows even once… in today’s theme came the confirmation of the “safe truth of the word.” Education, we write—when it is not Dia-formation and true Paideia, as it will be in the era of the Posthuman—treats, among other things, the “third age” as a… “disposable category.” It trains even the victims themselves to accept the unnatural and the paranoid. Loneliness, sadness, insecurity—“all the misfortunes of fate.”
When I reach, if I reach, the age of 80 or 90 in a healthy body and still remain “rational” (Biological Intelligence, Identity, Consciousness, and Emotion having their seat in the Mind), I will continue to be perfectly happy. Like all those who in life functioned with reflection, without stereotypes, and did not succumb to the deadly “Sirens” of the System. Following the golden rule of life: Moderation is best.
And when you climb the “mountain” and reach the summit, you enjoy the view. Whatever you did, whatever you leave behind. Provided, of course, that there were no crimes, no predatory behavior, no individualism, hypocrisy, fanaticism, sexism, or the logic of “take and not give.” If your mind remained clear, grounded in an anthropocentric understanding of life, with faith in values and principles.
Otherwise, if you are a counterfeit product, a molded creation of the System itself, then the “waste” you accumulated in life becomes an unbearable burden that pins you down in sadness, loneliness, abandonment. And surely the Furies, Justice, Nemesis perform their role—“for which they were appointed”: they plunge into despair and madness those who committed Hubris against Life. Those who disrespected true values and played where one should not play.
On the opposite side of your betrayal stands the one who knows that their life offered a “beautiful journey,” as the poet calls it. Full and fulfilled, happy to have acquired the gift of being considered “full of days,” they now await the other, the Great Journey—if it exists. A cosmic one, into a new dimension, into other levels of consciousness and energy. And if it does exist, you will be deprived of it as well. You took your exams and failed them. “You stayed in the same grade again.” You should have been more careful.
