Why do people think to present themselves in complete compliance with some moral code will benefit them more, while risking hypocrisy which is the easiest way to destroy ones image in the eye of the masses? How do people come to be masters of �doublethink�? Not only they say they are what they are not, but also they believe they are what they are not! I seem to me that human mind must find contradictory thoughts uncomfortable. But, there are those who are born being naturally disposed to deception. Maybe life events shakes the foundation of their psyches; a sort of defense mechanism to guard them against some unbearable truth.
Uncultivated minds, what a great haven for random acts of evil!

I finally finished George Orwell's 1984. It has induced a sense of strong hatred in me that I have scarcely experienced as an adult. It reminded me of my own childhood memories as a member of a minority group in Iran during 1980s; the resemblance to the methods used by the dominant party (still in place) is astonishing. The conclusion of the book is grim.
''Whoever holds the past holds the future. Whoever holds the present holds the past.''
The only way to reality is through the mind of man. One who controls the mind of man controls his reality. Can that be true?
It seems to me that certain modes of thinking- due to their natural affinity to the true reality of man and their descriptive power as of his relationship to the physical world- are bound to dominate. Thus, in the presence of sufficient thought dynamics the truth will prevail or the untruth will be defeated �. Alas, Generations are to be sacrificed!
