The Earth in the Hands of Mad People

Introduction to the serial

Although we know that the very name of this new serial will immediately evoke in a lot of readers various images and expectations connected herewith, we emphasise at the very beginning that the serial “The Earth in the Hands of Mad People” does not aim to be preferably interested in the most striking excesses of individuals, in the behaviour of nationalistically manipulated nations or religious fanatics, but the serial will endeavour – from a so far totally unknown point of view – to touch something which is seemingly invisible, yet without any doubts permanently active in the human society.

We shall talk about seemingly small, even tiny causes that often have great consequences resulting just from the behaviour of man as an individual. We shall talk about the responsibility resulting from this behaviour and also about some people´s effort to ignore and belittle everything that is penetrating in nowadays society a little bit deeper under the surface of our everyday life.

So even though we are not going to write about the mental conditions of the world-famous despots and dictators, we believe that you – the dear readers of the AO-Institute – will become interested in the contents of the serial and especially that it will bring you an impulse to even greater understanding of the hidden connections acting all around us in our lives.

The term mad – madness is the colloquial expression for a psychically or mentally ill, insane person who in certain intervals is not able to control his or her passions and desires which exceed the natural borders of human psychic and mental standards and therefore they can be called a deviation from the mentioned natural norm of the spiritual basis of man. Yet again it is necessary not to imagine here the pathological symptoms of the insanity of absolutely deranged individuals but we take into account the small abnormalities which can cause multiplied evil if connected to certain co-influence of circumstances, nevertheless, it is difficult to track the very birth of the evil in the society.

Yes, in fact we want to speak in this serial about seemingly normal people in the human society. Mostly they are smiling, helpful, successful, well-situated and often not aware of their condition. They suppose that they must act in the same way as they do in their decisions because otherwise somebody else would be making decisions instead of them. Somebody who would behave much worse and would surely lead people into destruction through his conduct, may it be at the level of company business, cultural life, in the work of socially beneficial organizations, sport, media, education and science, of course in politics too, but first of all at family life level.

The results of the decision-making process of these people, yes, really, often also the results of our own decision-making, followed by billions of the Earth´s inhabitants, finally lead to such a kind of experiencing that surrounds us every day.

And now let us put a question to the readers themselves. Do you consider yourselves to be mad?

Of course, we understand, that you do not!

However, are you always able to justify pragmatically, truthfully and fairly all your behaviour as it is coming from you to other people?

And what about your world of thoughts ? Is it permanently helpful, selfless, positively tuned as it should be in the naturalness of the human kind?

No, we do not want the readers to respond to our questions since their responses would often again, maybe even unknowingly, work with the thoroughly prepared defence why man has to do this and that and that it is impossible to act differently in his case.

Our new serial sets the goal to help only there where it will be able to help with its contents to understand and clarify the connections which some readers may have been missing so far, which they have been mechanically disregarding without taking into consideration that directly in this specific case it holds true that small causes bring great consequences!
