Socio 101

Seems to me that nowadays the sociological imagination is being displaced by the environmental imagination where people try to situate themselves in the history of  Earth.   Sustainability  is not likely to shed light  on their biography, condition, problems or malaise,but  it gives them the opportunity to feel contributing to society. (without solving the problem of child poverty.)

Mortua est

The coffin is lowered with lots of attention and care. We dump soil on it. When they die we call them cherished and beloved. Is it because we are afraid they will haunt us?

There is no freedom in being oneself.

Is this a misquote? I thought I saw this yesterday on the internet somewhere, thought interesting and tried to find it again. Nowhere. My fading memory ... could it be in being yourself? or for being yourself? Did I read too fast or is it my own imagination? Can I say this is mine? No ancient Greek or Hindu ascetic has gotten this? Being yourself is just being shackled by your fate. Your genes, your looks, your cultural determination. Or is it purely idiocy? Half baked sentence, good only for some pop song.
