You understand that this is not just a theoretical case, since, as we know, many choose people by whom to be guided: wise people, masters, gurus, teachers, etc.

The labels…

Many become attached to the labels they create, thinking of enclosing in a label what is anyone's guess. Labels are actually like words; they are just symbols, often empty, to which you would like to attribute who knows what magical power.

Thus, associations of the enlightened, free men, artists, geniuses, etc., etc., can be created. Have you tried taking a very poor wine and changing its label? However valuable the label may be, according to my calculations, the wine would not change its nature.

If tomorrow, a State law were made that would require all citizens to be intelligent… how many do you think would be able to respect it? To the eye, I would say that the number of those who were intelligent, before the law was made, would still be the same.

Many consider themselves very friendly because they exchange countless messages as anonymously with a large number of other unknown people. Have you sometimes tried to contact any of these characters in person, for example, by phone?

If so, you have probably discovered how evanescent they are; their consistency is often less than that of a summer cloud.

Once I exchanged a few messages with a certain “Mr So-and-So5”; until one day I asked him, again through messages in the forum, whether, given his experience (since he’d had one because of the name), “Mr So-and-So5” or “Mr So-and-So10” was to be considered more anonymous… You won't believe it, or maybe you will… not only did he not answer me, but he also stopped posting on the forum.

Is it possible that that person has been enlightened?

And think that he seemed or, perhaps better, he felt so cultured and lovable!
