THE ILLNESS OF THE TIME

“The Eleventh Edition is the definitive edition,' he said. ‘We’re getting the language into its final shape -- the shape it's going to have when nobody speaks anything else. When we've finished with it, people like you will have to learn it all over again. You think, I dare say, that our chief job is inventing new words. But not a bit of it! We're destroying words -- scores of them, hundreds of them, every day. We're cutting the language down to the bone. The Eleventh Edition won't contain a single word that will become obsolete before the year 2050.'

He bit hungrily into his bread and swallowed a couple of mouthfuls, then continued speaking, with a sort of pedant's passion. His thin dark face had become animated, his eyes had lost their mocking expression and grown almost dreamy.

'It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. Of course the great wastage is in the verbs and adjectives, but there are hundreds of nouns that can be got rid of as well. It isn't only the synonyms; there are also the antonyms. After all, what justification is there for a word which is simply the opposite of some other word? A word contains its opposite in itself. Take "good", for instance. If you have a word like "good", what need is there for a word like "bad"? "Ungood" will do just as well -- better, because it's an exact opposite, which the other is not. Or again, if you want a stronger version of "good", what sense is there in having a whole string of vague useless words like "excellent" and "splendid" and all the rest of them? "Plusgood" covers the meaning, or "doubleplusgood" if you want something stronger still. Of course we use those forms already. But in the final version of Newspeak there'll be nothing else. In the end the whole notion of goodness and badness will be covered by only six words -- in reality, only one word. Don't you see the beauty of that, Winston? It was B.B.'s idea originally, of course,' he added as an afterthought. “(George Orwell, 1949, page.50)

CHAPTER ONE:
The people used to be used for many times as different subjects, as a weapon, an object or maybe as only garbage, but… what happen when we are obliged to forgot someone because is necessary to leave that kind of person or only because to someone will be bad to have many people in the same way?

The boss, the president, the bad leader, and the enemy always try that we lose the conscious part of ourselves for make of us a moldable object that they can manage in the way they want for create or continue having the power they need.
Also as the same way in 1984 is showed with the language they managed us in the way every day they are trying that we forgot what we used to know and all those things that make us people, makes us humans, they are trying to make that we think in the same way f them or at least that we think in the way they could be satisfied.
By the pass of the years we use to forget a lot of things that in the pass help us to live, but nowadays because the market and the business in all the things we consume, we are leaving to much things back, things that maybe sons never could have the possibility to know what was all those things, because they will be deleted from our mind, or from the history and the things that are not in history are not real, supposedly.
Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, and every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. [..] The past is falsified, but it would never be possible for me to prove it, even when I did the falsification myself. After the thing is done, no evidence ever remains. The only evidence is inside my own mind, and I don't know with any certainty that any other human being shares my memories. (George Orwell, 1949, page.155)
When all the roots, the language and human roots are forgotten we forgot all, and we have to start leaving from zero because there is no more option and that take us to think and to realize if the things we are leaving right now are real, or only we are leaving in the reality others choose for us.
What happen if all the things we know are only the lies someone or a group of people start building long time ago? And if each president, each moment of the present is all prepared b those people? All things would change all thoughts will be different as the same way the things would be different in 1984 if the people know all the things that pass time ago, all the things would be different.
Sometimes we forgot all the important tins and we forgot the first reason for doing the things every day, for opening the eyes and try to have the better they ever every day, we lose the objective and with that the path, the path that take us to the success, and all that because people sometimes damage our mind with awful things, words, thoughts and those thigs make us change in an unconscious way as the others want.
This make that person by person start losing the real sense of life, or even their life and start leaving the life others want or us, that life that we are going to pass generation to generation, and then for the further generations that would be normal, but they would not feel the essence of the life.
Taking into account this we are going o passed all this to a new aspect the aspect of the people.

CHAPTER TWO:

Sometimes we used to forget people, sometimes people used to forget us and all this happen for different reasons; maybe because we want for things that happen, maybe because is necessary for starting a new stage in each one life, maybe because they damage ourselves or even because we must do it as an order.
In daily life several people disappear and happen because some others want it in that way, because is necessary to maintain us with huge level of ignorance and a lower level of intelligence (proposal and proactive intelligence)
We have seen several cases where the most important thinkers or philosophers, people that study society and politicians that try to change the world in which we are leaving are being murdered for the same reason, because some other people doesn´t want that we start thinking, that we start creating, that we start reasoning about our situation.
The ignorance is the better way to change history from one time to other, because is like a contagious disease that you can´t avoid easily, is a disease that can be extended in any part of the world and actually is the disease that is destroying the world day per day as anything is happening, as it was a normal thing, because that is the ignorant normal thought others are showing, there are more ignorant people than conscious ones that could change the world.
Day by day we are just pieces of a game, a funny game for those who played, but the most horrible one for those who suffered the desire, that wrong desire of the leaders, what are we doing now for changing these?
It is possible that we are expecting to suffer the 1984 chaos? Could be even possible that 1984 is only reflect and a prediction of what we are going to start leaving from now on?
This is a question we must start doing to ourselves because if we don’t change we are going to finish in the same way or even worse, there is an important decision we must take.
We must know that in the book we could find the human behavior as it is and also what people suffer because it
“Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.” (Orwell, 1949, page 70)
Nowadays we are losing our mind, we are selling every day our ideas for the other, our ideas for the boss, our success for the power, our power for the robbers, the politicians. The mind is not  any kind of thing we should give for granted, as it that has no value, because with our mind, with our ideas, with our thoughts we  are nothing and  we are only the puppets of the people that want to destroy the world we knew only for earning money, for sure they are not going to offer to us their real intensions, they are going to sell us  the most beautiful face they has ( form all the faces they use) for receiving what they want of us and then throw us to the street, to the dead as garbage, as nothing.
We got to realize that 1984 is not a fantasy tale, is the reality we are leaving all around the word, not yesterday, not tomorrow, now we are living it, feeling it, suffering it because we continue thinking  that worse things are coming soon but not that they are in front of us, we used to think that the bad thing would come for the others, in many years, in another country but also we are suffering something we can´t name because we don´t understand what I happening, for sure but we ae only blind rats that are being used for prove how humanity can be managed with television, brands and luxury, ow humanity  can be  taken as kids with candies and how one by one are falling into a deep whole of lies that the leaders expose to us, express in an indirect way.
WHAT ARE WE EXPECTING??
We are expecting that our leaders tart showing to us dirty lies like “Korea is destroying countries, Venezuela is dying because Maduro”? that is not the sense of life, we are living it right now, and we totally choose it, we are living it every day, only change he names of the book, replace them as Colombia, as Korea, as Venezuela,, and replace all with the things you living for understanding that we cannot believe in what the television says, in what politicians offer and promises, in the things you daily see, in the things you daily live but you doesn´t believe or understand that are happening.  
We are only an experiment of how ignorance is taken until the point you can forget all and start living in a new and blind life for others, living as dolls thinking that those things are good killing the ones that are crazy, that are sick for thinking that the things don´t have to be like that way but ignoring the issue  which they are the ignorant ones, and the one that forget all, they are the one that doesn´t understand that person, and for that is following something they really know what it is.
We don´t need to way until the point the leaders manage each one of those for change, we don’t need to forget for start reminding the things, we don’t need to believe things are find, we don’t need to even try to make other think the conscious people are sick, we only need start changing from now on one per one until we arrive to the point where the leaders have to stop their way of thinking or take their power for make good things, the things that people should have been making from lot of years before.
In conclusion, humanity take for granted life because think they managed their life, but all of us have to start taking conscience of what we are living for start changing the world for sure for first time in history or tomorrow we only are going to be the same kind of people of the book, living without reason, losing the essence of the life, losing life and liberty by our own hands.
We got to change history, recreate history and create history, a new one, the history and the life we need but first start by yourself, changing your life style for others to make the same.
Life is only yours.
