Ideology is what remains once life and passion have fled from an idea

Ideology is what remains once life and passion have fled from an idea. Life will be a lot simpler without ideologies of any kind. All ideologies eventually turn into religions and fall a prey to opinionated narrowness at best and fanaticism in general. It may sound incredible: more human blood has been shed in the name of these ideologies, with or without the religious content, than in the pursuance of any selfish individual goals, including personal hatred and greed.


Talking to trees is love;  tree-ism is ideology. Only in the sense of becoming sanctified dedication of a eprsonal feeling deos the word "religion" have a safe and a beautiful meaning.
