Cosmetician, hairdresser, psychologist
and teacher
Why do people go to the hairdresser or
cosmetician? I am not just thinking about women, but men as well. The
hairdresser is important because you can either better show your forehead
with your hair or hide it. The facial massage at the cosmetician is necessary
to massage out the spasm in the facial muscles that you have contracted
because the whole long day has to be smiled. But in this case, I would simply
suggest a sour lemon because it pulls the facial muscles in exactly the
opposite direction, and relaxes them that way. The psychologist? No, that's
too direct. We all have problems most of the time, but either we store them
or try to solve them at best. But mostly we do not feel so ill to run to the
psychologist right away, the cosmetician or hairdresser is considered to be
too talkative. The best friend or best girlfriend is never at hand when you
really need them, and not even there, one can really open one's heart,
because, of course, one does not want to destroy the positive image, which
has been built up in this person for years about oneself, by a careless,
possibly false alarm. The dilemma is usually that one can thereby least tell
such a person. So where? Maybe at a private language teacher! We go there to
learn a language, so to speak. You can talk about a lot of things. And after
a short time you can talk about more intimate topics. If it gets too
embarrassing at some point, you send this teacher a text message, and say a
friendly goodbye. The teacher is ideal from this point of view, he does not
know your friends, acquaintances and family, he does not really know anything
about you and therefore you do not take much risk that your secrets might be
divulged to thirds. I invite everyone to try it for themselves. 🙂

Esoteric, UFO, superstition and other
fantasies!
In recent decades, esoteric and similar
trends (parapsychology, the flat-earth movement, homeopathy,
"intelligent design", etc.) have grown into a real fashion. In
masses, "would-be scientists" with much written nonsense can be
found on the book market. What is the cause of their popularity and where
does the people’s credulity come from? Gotthold Ephraim Lessing used the term
"Esoterics" in his book "Hamburgische Dramaturgie" in
connection with people who were privy to the inner happenings of theatre
life. Esoteric = insider! In a city like New York, where there are 1000 rules
(laws, house rules, rules in the lift or in the office, etc.), people try to
circumvent some of these written and unwritten rules because otherwise life
becomes a torment and these regulations often contradict each other. In the
southerly, more rural parts of the US, where one ranch is often miles away
from the other, people still create additional rules (mostly moral ones),
although obviously, there is no need for that because they have too much
space to talk to each other without having to step on each other’s feet. The
reason for this is the feeling of a lack of guidelines. Nowadays there is
also the feeling of a lack of mysticism. Today, one lives in an age in which
he/she is expected to always think logically and seek an explanation for
everything. Not only at the workplace, the hospital or school but everywhere
there is a flood of science and technology. In this way, one creates his/her
own mystical world in his/her private life: his/her ancestors came from the
planet Sirius, his/her soul was in a different body in a previous life, just
to name a few of these fantasies. Of course, one could now ask the question
why he/she does not engage in art when he/she has the need for spiritual
things. An explanation for this is probably not that complicated. For
example, to find satisfaction in music, one should ideally learn to play a
musical instrument, and this will take years to produce a fair success. The
same applies to painting. To actually get a better picture of this art, you
need to grab the brush or at least the pen. However, a human is basically
addicted to orgasm or hormone doses. He/she gladly leans back and waits for
this feeling to be communicated to him/her by others without much self-effort,
and this semi-knowledge of esotericism is very suitable for that.

The Cow and her Cult
For a long time, mankind has changed living area as nomads, even
later, when it started keeping animals, it limited itself to livestock which
did not affect its mobility too much, and which had rather modest needs
(Animals which didn’t need a stable and not too much water). Naturally, these
animals brought neither too much milk nor too much meat. This was the goat.
About 4-5000 years ago an economic revolution took place. Mankind made cattle
a domestic animal. It demanded higher needs, needing a stable, along with
always green grass and fresh water. But the combination of high quantities of
fresh meat and milk, as well as agricultural planting made it possible for
mankind to settle down. The importance of cattle as a domestic animal was so
great to mankind that it worshipped it like a deity. This phenomenon can be
recognized in many different cultures around the world. Starting with the
ancient Egyptians, who prayed to a black bull and the Jewish people, who
worshipped Baal, the golden calf while Moses received the Ten Commandments of
God on Mount Sinai, through Hinduism in India, where the cattle may not be
killed till this day, to Spain, where we find the last remnants of this
culture in bullfighting. Bullfighting is especially interesting. It is easy
to reconstruct its model. Probably 10-20 families lived in a settlement,
keeping a herd of 50 cows and 2-3 bulls. Each year, there were 10 newborn
calves, according to the Equilibrium Law of Nature (we know this since
Darwin), only 3-4 animals were male. But a larger number of young male
animals would've disturbed the harmony of the herd by the continuous struggle
for domination. It was necessary to eliminate this aggressive factor and kill
some of the male animals, creating a festival connected to the cult. When a
youth wanted to be included into the group of grownups, he had to prove that
he was ready. He had to kill a year-old bull with a knife or a lance,
probably at 13-14 years of age. Later, it developed from an honorable
tradition popular in ancient Rome, being the Toreador's job sharply
criticized by humanists and animal rights activists today.
