Rebelling Against I AM.

[Honza]

This is a trend I have noticed which runs through society. Socialists are prone to this as are some liberals, hippies and in particular the youth.

Some people just get it into their head to rebel against the 'I'. They claim 'we are' or 'God is'. They claim the 'I' is selfish.

I know this because I was one of those people. So were many of my friends. It is very self destructive in the long run.

That Motorhead song in which they sing "you know I am born to lose, and gambling is for fools, but that is the way I like it baby, I don't want to live forever." sums it up.

People say "if you are not socialist when you are young then you have no heart. If you are still socialist when you are old then you have not brain." Implies that the young disregard the 'I' but the old have learnt it is vital.

It is a very romantic notion to forget the 'I'. It suggests we fall in love with each other and live selflessly.
