The Myth of Samson could be currently a metaphor of the clipping that has been cut the welfare state prisoner of its debt. Samson have lost his long hair, Dalila has cut it of their materialists passions and have gouged his eyes with which he could look at the millions of ads urging him to binge. But blindness is linked in myth with insight, Samson learns to look within and his hair grow again. This powerful man brutally accustomed to having what he want, is forced to recognize who and what he really is, to balance its blind power of instinct with reason. The story of Samson reveals the transformative effects of passion, which can lead us to suffering, but also to the self-revelation and a new understanding of ourselves and the life. Become self therapy, destroying whatever superfluous materialism and achieve self-control that allows to get the absolute freedom of man as a sustainable measure on the planet.
