Question #8 - 1984

Entry of your choice.

Imagine being watched all the time. Every move you make and every little thing you do, someone's watching you, and that someone is waiting for you to do something out of the ordinary. Why? To claim you as insane and to "fix" you so you are no longer a danger to yourself or those around you. At least, that's what this person claims to do, while in actual fact, this person is turning you into another one of the millions of mindless people that worship every word this someone says. Who is this someone? He is Big Brother.

So what are you supposed to do when the leader of one of the three most powerful governments in the world says even your own thoughts are dangerous to yourself? You ask yourself three crucial questions: Did the reign of this leader help make my life better, or was there a time before this leader when I lived a better life? Did what this leader say always prove to be true? Did someone ever prove the existence of this person?

The first two questions are very important, but if the first two questions are answered with a "Yes" and the last question with a "No," it's time to question the actual existence of this leader. This leader may have many dedicated followers and many great teachings, but if you question the leader's mere existence, this leader could be someone the government itself made up; someone the government created to base all its totalitarianism on to turn all of its citizens into mindless followers.

So take heed: everything you hear, even though it is from someone you trust dearly, may not always be the truth, and you may be the only one with an actually sane mind.
