More From Erich Fromm

Freedom is not a constant attribute which we either "have" or "have not." in fact, there is no such thing as "freedom" except as a word and an abstract concept. there is only one reality: the act of freeing ourselves in the process of making choices. in this process the degree of our capacity to make choices varies with each act, with our practice of life.
Reality Practice Choices
A chess master can keep track of more choices than the number of stars in the galaxy within an instant, but these are people that have truly learned and mastered the choices that they have and how to deal with those choices over a very, very long period of training, so essentially what they're really doing is ruling out all the irrelevant choices and only zeroing in on the most relevant, useful choices at the moment.
Stars Numbers Long
Once you accept the fact that people have 'individual choices' and they're 'free' to make those choices. free to make choices means without being influenced and i can't understand that at all. all of us are influenced in all our choices by the culture we live in, by our parents, and by the values that dominate. so, we're influenced. so there can't be free choices.

Feelings are great liars. if christians worshipped only when they felt like it, there would be precious little worship. we think that if we don’t feel something there can be no authenticity in doing it. but the wisdom of god says something different: that we can act ourselves into a new way of feeling much quicker than we can feel ourselves into a new way of acting. worship is an act that develops feelings for god, not a feeling for god that is expressed in an act of worship.
Christian Liars Thinking
I don't think either party has any idea what's headed their way. their business is to remain mired in process. they call it deliberation, thoughtful, reasonable deliberation. trump doesn't know any of that. trump is not a process guy. to him, process is delay. process is obfuscation. process is incompetence. people engaging in process are a bunch of people masking the fact they don't know what they're doing, and he has no time for 'em and no patience.
Party Thoughtful Thinking
The western approach to reality is mostly through theory, and theory begins by denying reality - to talk about reality, to go around reality, to catch anything that attracts our sense-intellect and abstract it away from reality itself. thus philosophy begins by saying that the outside world is not a basic fact, that its existence can be doubted and that every proposition in which the reality of the outside world is affirmed is not an evident proposition but one that needs to be divided, dissected and analyzed. it is to stand consciously aside and try to square a circle.
