the five colours make a human’s eyes blind
riding and
hunting make its mind go wild with excitement
goods hard
to come by serve to hinder its progress
the five tastes
injure a human’s palate
the five
notes make its ears deaf
hence in her
rule the sage is for the belly not for the eye
therefore he
discards the one and takes the other
dear
twelves,
feed
the people. don’t let them get hungry or thirsty. give them clean water and
sufficient shelter. provide them with entertainment poking fun at remote
leaders and providing hope that the human will become something other than
itself. show them love as some soft cuddly attainable thing. separate good and
evil and let the former vanquish. mute their senses and dull their minds. put
them in front of screens from the earliest age and in desks as soon as
possible. teach them to behave and to be good citizens and not to question too
much and to obey authority and to put actions in one place and words in
another, for such compartments are necessary for an orderly life. destroy
wildness and incarcerate enthusiasm. blind vision and make values tools of
sedation. let education be a process of conformity and the home a fortress of
coddled fear. numb all excess and thinking, eradicate the imagination, discard
vitality
indulge
your appetites, enforce order, and adapt your behaviour, emotions, attitudes
and thoughts to the dominant social environment in which you find yourself
work it out that on occasion when a true work of art or an outsider of some sort manages to get past the barriers of acceptability and be heard that their subversive messages and forms will be transformed through money and abstraction such that they will not be heard, that through their success they will be brought into the happiness of the dominant, and the people will laugh at themselves without realizing it or effecting any change
