Ali Abuh Jaffar - redacao@fazendomedia.com

One day he found out the dominating system that controls people’s lives exercised its power through sistematic dissemination of fear, that leads to the feeling of insecutiry that, for its turn, leads to disunion. Of course, the more disunited a society is, the easier it can be controled. 

That day, he saw himself in front of a theater of absurds, where the show was played by a minority, that won lots of money destroying the environment and the human dignity, and watched by a majority that, surprisingly, applauded the very system that punished it. 

Edição # 9 - december, 2003.

It was then he made his second discovery: that majority had its eyes blindfolded so that they could not see they were being deceived. It was necessary to find a way that would make possible for those people to see! But, before he could find the first clue of how to do it, he made the third and last discovery: those people did not want to have their blindfolds taken off, in any sense of the word. They did not want neither to see nor to get out of their confortable anonymity, for the shock of reality would be so violent that illusionary life was often adopted as the only one possible. 

The spectators of that theater of absurds spent much time sitting comfortably on their sofas, applauding every kind of iniquity and resigned themselves to the rests of illusions remaining of the real fantasies of the dominating minority. 

Conformity that became passivity that became a blindfold. A blindfold that binds and blinds, and hurts and harms, but can not be easily taken off.
