Actually, I think it\u2019s the case all over the world. people in the West probably just talk about it more. Where there is not yet much \u2013 open \u2013 talk about it, there will be.<\/p>\n<p>With freedom comes responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>If that makes you feel uncomfortable, my advice is to talk about it. That is in any case much better than getting anxious.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Should responsibility make one anxious?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I don\u2019t think the one makes the other. The reverse is rather true: not seeing responsibility may diminish anxiety\u2026 through fleeing.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not the responsibility that makes anxious. It\u2019s what one sees when taking responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>One sees one\u2019s own inner strength.<\/p>\n<p><em>Quoting Marianne Williamson: \u201cOur deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.\u201d (sometimes wrongly attributed to Nelson Mandela)<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Should inner strength make one anxious?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to me, absolutely not.<\/p>\n<p>But many cultures imbue it in the members of those cultures. It\u2019s as if a culture thrives on it in order to sustain itself as a culture.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t far-fetched. The members make up the culture. Culture is what is shared inside the heads of the members. Their minds are the cultivating ground. Without them, culture doesn\u2019t survive.<\/p>\n<p>So, in a Darwinian sense, a culture that doesn\u2019t keep a check on the inner strength of individuals loses in the competition to the one that does.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>That makes culture very double-oriented.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>On the one side, it gives a lot to its members in order to grow \u2013 also as individuals.<\/p>\n<p>On the other side, it cannot let them grow in total-being freedom. Members are to be domesticated in order to fit the culture. An efficient way is to make them feel anxious when nearing the borders of what is culturally permitted.<\/p>\n<p>Culture can make people feel anxious this way by making them \u2018guilty\u2019, throwing them out of the Garden of Eden, remember why?<\/p>\n<p>In such a case, the anxious feeling is the same as the guilty feeling.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Now may be the time to break this open.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>AURELIS.<\/p>\n<div data-object_id=\"2632\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkwrap cbxwpbkmarkwrap_no_cat cbxwpbkmarkwrap-post \"><a  data-redirect-url=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2632\"  data-display-label=\"0\" data-show-count=\"0\" data-bookmark-label=\" \"  data-bookmarked-label=\" \"  data-loggedin=\"0\" data-type=\"post\" data-object_id=\"2632\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarktrig  cbxwpbkmarktrig-button-addto\" title=\"Bookmark This\" href=\"#\"><span class=\"cbxwpbkmarktrig-label\"  style=\"display:none;\" > <\/span><\/a> <div  data-type=\"post\" data-object_id=\"2632\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguestwrap\" id=\"cbxwpbkmarkguestwrap-2632\"><div class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguest-message\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguesttrig_close\"><\/a><h3 class=\"cbxwpbookmark-title cbxwpbookmark-title-login\">Please login to bookmark<\/h3>\n\t\t<form name=\"loginform\" id=\"loginform\" action=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-login.php\" method=\"post\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-username\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_login\">Username or Email Address<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"log\" id=\"user_login\" class=\"input\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-password\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_pass\">Password<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"password\" name=\"pwd\" id=\"user_pass\" class=\"input\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-remember\"><label><input name=\"rememberme\" type=\"checkbox\" id=\"rememberme\" value=\"forever\" \/> Remember Me<\/label><\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-submit\">\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" name=\"wp-submit\" id=\"wp-submit\" class=\"button button-primary\" value=\"Log In\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"redirect_to\" value=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2632\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/form><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every aspect of AURELIS intends to make you freer, therefore more responsible.
