How To Become An Alien
To become an alien, we detach ourself
from organised political, social and religious associations.
Alien: Belong to another
ie not belonging to organised political, social, and religious associations.
βThe organised political, social, and religious associations of our time are at work convincing the individual not to develop their convictions through their own thinking but to assimilate the ideas they present to them. Any one who thinks for themself is, to organisations, inconvenient and even ominous as they do not offer sufficient guarantees that they will merge into the organisation.β
– Albert Schweitzer 1875-1965

If we do not fit in, then we are an alien – simple.
In truth, we are all aliens!
