It's a challenge to the social construct we live in.

With saying a free mind is a dangerous mind, it's dangerous because it's able to perceive the reality that is trapped in. It's neither good or bad, it's about being able to see the water your surrounded by per say.

"Everything needs structure and planning to be predictable and understandable. We fear the unknown it's in our nature to be controlled and guided."

People with good intentions and bad intentions exist. However without guidance anarchy will bestow us, and with guidance you loose your freedom because the few will wreck it for the rest. Imagine an ungoverned society, greed will take over. However greed only exists because of struggle.

If there was never a need to struggle there wouldn't be a need to be envious.

This is all from generation and generations of this "Life" we live.

An Idea Can Be Immortal is essentially stating that knowledge of a sociatial construct we are trapped in brings both awareness and sadness because there is nothing we can do about it. We need it, it's a double bladed sword. Me writing it down is saying yes, it exists, yes it could have been designed better similar to a hivemind... for example bees and ants. All working together for a greater good of a species rather than an individual group, but even still i contradict myself because that itself is an absence of freedom because it's another predetermined version of life.

My mind fights itself so much because I can see all sides I see the pros and the cons and understand this is probably the lesser of 2 evils.

Hence my internal battle about it pulling from all sides, I thought writing it would help me understand how I felt. But all it did is make me argue every point from every perspective with myself...

The idea of being allowed to dream freely would’ve been such a lovely concept, if only there was a system that allows these dreams to be checked before being acted upon for safety of not just us but of those around us, because sometimes even I am scared of my imagination the glimpses of a darker side to humanity that we see in some dreams and we question ourselves about its origins
