The American Dream, the ultimate illusion
By: Cedric Henry
The American dream is what drove immigrants to the U.S. years ago, the idea of self-actualization and freedom from governmental oppression. This idea of freedom, real? What is freedom?
Is it happiness through doing what you desire; the idea of freedom is relative to whom ever seeks it. If one is seeking freedom, in that act alone I wonder is he then exercising a mechanism coupled with the American dream known as self-determination. The call to control ones existence through his environment. Freedom is relative to a persons ideals, his environment correlates with a system created by something that people have never seen, never been able to prove beyond a scientific doubt exists. What we call god. Is god the ultimate freedom? In order to understand freedom in our plane of existence we need to know the physics of witch we reside. That is we need to be completely knowledgeable in all things existing. Understanding the poem is key to knowing even partially who the writer is or our creator. Through this is the only real way to freedom. Becoming closer to god and the pursuit of knowledge then become evidently one in the same. Yet the massive amounts of information within just a grain of sand, all forces witch work on it, the endless properties it contains. This is too much for just one man hence forth, mans only true path in the that he exists is through humanity as a collective. Functioning like a mechanism and geared toward the pursuit of knowledge.
Freedom; how the average person views it is in a narrow societal way.
Like: As long as I don?t do anything that infringes on someone else?s freedoms, as defined in our American constitution, I can do it and therefore am free. In that sense the American dream is on its way to perfection. Though I doubt any of the next 200 generations of Americans will see it. Who knows how long it will take for all the other fractions of human being to feel ?free? in any society.
This plays into another idea on freedom in general as it related to the American dream as I see it, henceforth referred to as: the dream. Just so that you don?t mistake my thoughts as generalizations on American culture. The sense can feel free, but the mind, at least my mind, always finds barriers and those who find themselves satisfying the senses get passed up by those crossing mental barrier at an exponential rate in comparison to primal urges witch seem to me to peak at puberty, when a person has experienced most forms of primal urge: The need to eat, reproduce, jealousy, hate. The problem is those so consumed by there emotions they neglect there minds while others get ample mental exercise. This causes an intelligence rift and in a world where knowledge is power, those with the power are essentially more free than those stuck satisfying their senses. The funny thing is how those with power, as soon as there powerful enough try and stifle others on there journey to freedom, self actualization, in affect adding another road block in a persons progress toward happiness in any form.
In stopping your fellow man greedily and selfishly, you have constrained the collective and the fight for the good of all people by giving in to low level thought. These selfish urges can be seen as weights and levies, keeping our social system going and providing constant antagonism and drive.
I dream of a day when as a whole, humanity no longer wants for food or drink but knowledge. I hope one day when many, many generations of human being have past at last there is no war, irritation. That children are born into the presence of god and they thirst not for anything but are eternally content. This is the dream.
