Us against them

Our society is soley baced on comparesions. Who are you compared to the Smiths? What is better coke or pepsi? Who has the fancier car? Who has better grades?Nothing is just it's self. We can't begin to comprehend not being "able to look at someone else and know how far along on his journey he is." We need to know because we then know how we are in comparison. We need it straight and to the point. No wishy wash. We don't want confusion. As a country that strives to greatness, we want to move towardes the future, fast. We need answers so we can move on, not more confusion and questions which only keep us in a never ending circle. We want a beginning and an end. As a society we are linear. In Siddhartha's society, everything is a circle. Everything is part of everything else. there is no end and begining, no black and white, no Brahman and diceplayer.
