There is this concept of ‘wilderness’. When Moses took Jews out of the slavery, on the way to their own country, they had this transition period called ‘wilderness’.
This is the time when they were wandering and wondering what’s so cool in being free, because they felt they lived better lives with free food and less suffering back in Egypt.
I think when we care about our freedom, we loose a lot of opportunities. Among them - opportunities to socialize at centralized social networks, to be flattered there, opportunities to gain friends, opportunities to use web services to convert files or edit pictures, etc. And people wonder if they did not loose freedoms, instead of gaining them.
To me that is very similar to the transition period Jews had in a desert. So we are in the wilderness. We are wilderness wanderers in search of freedom.

#Therapist: – Have you ever read the #bible?
Girl: – Isn’t that like illegal for you to ask me that?
Therapist: – Not really. It’s really just a subject like any other. You can choose to #talk about it or not. Anyway, in the new #testament #God is always portrayed as being #good and #wickedness and #evil is a #human thing, a human problem.Actually, it’s one of the things that’s helped christianity to spread very quickly. Can you… Can you think why?
Girl: – Because #people like to feel shitty about themselves?
Therapist: - That’s it. Exactly. We prefer to# live in a world where God is #good and man is #bad rather than a world where God is bad. So an evil #authority, an unfair# government, neglectful #parents– That’s a pretty scary #concept. Makes your whole #life seem kind of scary and meaningless. It is one of the reasons why children will blame themselves before their parents.
