so MAKE IT DIFFERENT

8D a margaret-made society'd be a damn fair bit better than this one

memento mori

I have to say though that a margaret-made society would only work in some respects. There are some things that can only exist in small doses, as to remain affective or special, or would be just ridiculous in great practice, probably because that would make them contradictory to why I would set them a standard in the first place. Though I have to say that it would be a much more tasteful and peaceful, productive existence if I called the shots . I don't want to touch things now, for there isn't a stick long enough for me with which I would want to prod society, safely, at least. Thank you for the compliment though.

though I’m not interested in questions concerning human progress, I’m sure that your ideas about integrity of the society will be a matter of fact in the future (very, very distant).
They say, that in the time of the 7th race (and we belong to the 5th race) people will advance so much, that many things which we now consider as the signs of civilization, will be regarded as utter barbarism. People will not kill animals and will eat only veggies, they will not deceive, steal, insult each other; they all will posses such abilities like telepathy and foreseeing; their desire to help others will be strong and selfishless everyday habit. And as a result of this spiritual advancement, they will posses beautiful and healthy physical mould, and in all respect will be close to what now we call sanctity. Still it will not be the end of human evolution. All these is proved, scientifically based and affirmed by the best representatives of our race. They are not insane and what they narrated is not a fairytale. This information they received from reliable sources, partly from their Ascended Masters, partly exercising their clairvoyance abilities.
So your longing for the better society is not a play of imagination but natural presentiment of some day coming reality.

I had really been out of society and am still out of it in a sense of being married to my studies and in place. Catching a glance of what was out there was just too much. I'm back hiding inside now, though that's also for the purposes of working. I think we'll come to a point where those in power will no longer be able to provide guises, or peoples will fall from the lack of significance they realize that they exhibit, and have to start anew...not in my lifetime though, and I really don't have the strength now to even think hat I want to touch the matter, though I know that I won't always be able to hide in my studio...

yh, me too, after being outdoor a bit became ill and now under this pretext staying at home, being entirely idle. i plan to stay idle as long as possible, untill the need will turn me out again to search some work. as concerning you, it reminded me Flaubert words, who suggested to artist lock himself in the ivory tower to bar himself from any poisonous influences from without, and so keep his art pure and refined. i'm sure you're having the best time now in "ivory tower" of your studio, so enjoy it

Thank you. Though to be honest, ivory towers are never really stable, nor are the contents withing them at times. To be literal, my architectural studio space leaks, and I find myself alone either in person or in thought most of the time there. I miss the few people with whom I could share my thoughts (the ones in person I mean, there are wonderfully open ears here ), or who would be generally interested in sharing ideas in a community setting. Now everybody seems isolated, at least those I know, and the isolation of several major plans in one mind is troubling at times. Thorns are outside, though there, there are also roses.

not stable?! though they're made of delicate material, and may leak sometimes , they provide all what artist really needs and, i daresay, they last longer, than anything outside. it's good if you could discern any roses outside, though they are few, but i trust, that your isolation will bring you more good than your expect

Studios, at least the one which I am currently inhabiting, provide excellent bones. They foster thoughts, protect us from outside elements of man or nature, but they also filter reality, the ability to feel; the sun; the cold, things that make you wake up to the ful power of the world. I agree though that isolation in doses will provide more than many interactions...

oh, i thought the stronger our reality is filtered, the better, and it's a bliss to have such filter. without such filter it's hardly possible to keep sanity, while dealing with our world. by the way, it's not true, that isolation dulls the feelings or makes person a savage. as for nature, you are not imprisoned, so you can enjoy it sometimes, i guess
