Ideology And Religion

Here we are then, just another day. Each day passes. Each day starts with the same few words and sometimes the same sentences. It is hard to know how to start a new day without the ritual of beginning the day.

I ought to go out and find some new words, a new ritual for the start of the day. For this is how religions grow, out of such routine observances. There is no real difference between ideology and religion, both eventually lose touch with the world and insist that they are right and it is the world that is wrong.

We do not drop these things when they lose touch with reality – that is where the danger lies.
