Ludovico Treatment #18

Well, for starters, it looks like I wasn't the only person who decided to suggest this video to the asylum. Aah, well... perhaps it's true that "fools seldom differ", isn't it?

But what I did see in the video is that of fear and fear-mongering. We are all going to die anyway; the undertaker comes for us all. But in our fear of that unknown country where no travellers return, we cling onto anything that gives us a glimmer of hope. And thus we turn to our soothsayers in the hopes that some kind of arbitrary good works is going to redeem us and perhaps even help us to escape the Undertaker. But with all hopes come disappointment, since the Undertaker comes for us all. And so in our frustration and our anger we act out what we fear the most - never has "identifying with the aggressor" been so well demonstrated here. In the hope to avoid death, we bring on the death of not only others but also that of ourselves. And at the end, the Undertaker comes for us all.
