Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn on June 8, 1978 gave a small presentation at Hardvard University. He said: The defense of "human rights" and / and "freedom of expression" has become a kind of "freedom to do what I want" that must be guaranteed to each individual.
This absurd conception has become one of the main vehicles for evil to spread in the world. He (Aleksandr) proposes that "it is time, in the West, to defend not so much human rights as human obligations."
Now i think, for the present times such declaration in the perception that has the present generation this would be equivalent to a "hate discrimination or hate crime" or that he would simply deny such rights. This is clear given the current character of postmodernist thought that has been installed in the academy and the world in general.
Now what does not know or seems not to understand the present generation is the following. Born from the reflection of the exposed by Aleksandr: "human rights", "freedom of expression" and "freedom to do what I want" are good concepts, if they can improve individual conscience and become a help for the disadvantaged. Unfortunately, they became individualistic, materialistic, blind, inflexible, driven by the ego and became a tool of a larger agenda.
Today these concepts have been groped to the point of becoming something that accompanies the fashion of the ideological posture, and where the Candid (the naive, but also narcissistic and his ego) has believed that the world exists only for him and that Only an injustice could deprive them of enjoying it completely. The world exists only for him, and in him the candid can be whatever he wishes, without any limit, moved by a voluntarism that functions as a criterion of truth. Who will dare to deny a young man who is a cat if he expresses his feeling that he is?
That said here comes the revelation in something Aleksandr pointed out in his speech: Western society has placed its faith and trust in aSystem of Laws disconnected from human consciousness. [...] His words (coincide) with the passage from Guyénot (From Yahweh to Zion) when he writes about how for the Jewish people,源自一个法律实体,“优越”cannot be questioned
frees man from the obligation to evaluate and judge his own acts as long as they are performed in accordance with the Law.
In our present time, "human rights" and "the freedom to do what I want" are part of the codex of laws both nationally and internationally. The obligation that man has to evaluate and judge his own acts is nothing other than the true exercise of free will. When a man has to make a decision between the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly, that decision is the same act of judging and weighing on the balance of consciousness what path will follow.
When man is "freed" from that obligation, he renounces his most precious asset. Our true freedom to choose. His free will. And when this happens, paradoxically by his own choice (butchoice based on ignorance of these facts) is then when man sells the same essence of his soul so that another can do with it what he pleases.
这是绝对的奴隶制的根源。
