Fantasies of Salvation
Book information
Description
There are two kinds of analphabets: those who don't know read, and those who don't read.
When the moral disarray of individuals - due the absence of a centered spirit - in times of crisis, multiple changes, exigent challenges, temporal paradigms, perpetual uncertainness and historical fracture, the sociological behavior in most societies seem to follow a same pattern: to search desperately an exit door based on emotional coordinates. This is an extraordinary chance for the false prophets or pretended liberators, illuminated and inspired by supernatural forces to return in order to support those anguishing souls, the coveted serenity and a beacon in the darkness of the ignorance; but when this happens, many people - emulating Faust figure - are capable to renounce the freedom - our most valuable gift - in search of shelter and comfort.
Tismaneau explores with vehement logic, the political psychology of post communist societies and the emerging nations who have grown and grown up overlooking the history.
Kind reader, go for Matrix and search that admirable sequence in which literally appears that devastating statement: "Happiness is ignorance."
There are issues we forget due believe them unthinkable to happen.
