First of all, I want to thank you for the conference I gave at Blogtalkradio a few weeks back: it ranked among the most popular shows of this portal.
Today I want to discuss a book written by Arthur Miller called “The Crucible”.
It is about a witch hunt that took place in Salem, Massachusetts. Girls were accused of witchcraft and were burnt at the stake. On a side note, I’ve been to Salem and saw little souvenir shops selling images of this horrible episode.
Yet what I want to discuss here is this : I have the feeling that we are coming back to the witch hunt.
Anyone who dares to be different or doesn’t follow the “manual of good behavior” is blamed as a witch, a fool or a crazy … And I believe this context inhibits people of following their personal legend.
I would like to know then your opinion about this.
(Of course that on the lung run this is bound to change and the world will open up againt to the hidden powers of individuals, but I would like to have your opinion on today’s context).
