In these times of rapid technological advances in the areas of
information and communication
technologies and with the current world population explosions and with
the rapid growth of major cities, it
is now more important than ever before that a state of close mindedness
is maintained. I know that there
are some of you, who have all throughout life, looked at things at a
unique and different perspective. Who
have always sought out new and different ideas, and were thrilled at the
thought of gaining greater
understanding. I know, that as a result, you are often shunned and
looked down upon, that you never quite
"fit in". Hopefully, I can help you remedy this problem, and guide you
to the righteous path of closed
mindedness.
There are many different ways and means of beginning the process of
obtaining a closed mind, but
to choose the most commonly used and easiest method, let's start with
the notion that: "you are good". First
off, only you know yourself. Only you know how unique and special you
really are. As far as you can see,
you are the only one who knows you and are you. The world at large
doesn't even come close. The world is
different than you. The world doesn't have the potential to do as much
as you. Only you can do what you
really want, the world hurts people, the world is uncaring and
unchangeable. Therefore, "you are good". The
world is bad.
Now, since "you are good", it would be totally logical to conclude that
"you are right". You
must begin to no longer view your ideas a constantly growing and
instantly changeable series of progressive
steps, but instead personalize these ideas as "your ideas". These ideas
must become synonymous with
yourself, these ideas must be YOU. As a result, whenever these ideas are
challenged or attacked, the person
doing so, is in fact challenging and attacking YOU. As a result, you
must defend these ideas, as you would
defend yourself. The content of the ideas, as a result, will become
meaningless compared to the fact that
these ideas are you; that you are the ideas. And that since you are
undoubtedly a good and decent human
being, "you are right". And since others will attack you like that,
maliciously seek to destroy what is good
and decent in the world, "others are your enemy".
To expound upon the progress that has already been made, you next need
to begin the process of
focusing on your own immediate situation. Since you are undoubtedly a
decent and good human being to
begin with, and since any attack on your ideas is an attack on you,
likewise, any attack on your immediate
situation is hostile towards you as well. We've already understood that
"others are your enemy", as a result,
you must learn that their own situation is meaningless as well. You must
learn that your own situation is
you, and others' situations does not concern you, it is "enemy
territory". As a result, you must learn to look
for how everything relates to only yourself and improve your life in
that area, and others' situations, you
must learn to ignore and turn a blind eye towards.
And keep in mind, you must focus on your situation - in the present.
History is the stories of other
people's situations in the past, and the future is what others'
situations will be in the future. You are living
in the present, therefore, you must only pay attention to the present.
After such previous magnificent accomplishments are achieved, you must
now take the time to
relax. Literally, what you need to do now and for the rest of your life
is RELAX. You need to get
comfortable. You need to fight only for the maintenance of this comfort,
and to maximize your comfort. You
need to develop routines, schedules, habits and privileges and learn to
love them. Keep in mind that all
change is bad, unless it goes to further your own comfort. After all,
aren't we supposed to "live life to it's
fullest" and "seize the day"?
Hopefully, by following these general guidelines, you have been able to
block out the world and
originality, and only keep to yourself. Hopefully, you have now been
able to live in world, but only be an
island to yourself. Hopefully, you are now a closed system dependent on
the outside world, but refusing to
recognize it's existence. Hopefully, you now have a closed mind.
