The Futurist Manifesto

When the words of The Futurist Manifesto, what I hear is a man who has no peace and does not seek or hope for it. He truly has the will of a fool, not only does his ambitions of chaos and anarchy reap destruction upon himself, they also wish upon all people such destruction. His ideals have lost sight of the importance of not only self reflection but the insight gained from the past as well. He has lost sight of the matter that the past is the foundation for which the future is built. If there was no past, then consequently there would be no future. There would only be what is present. It would be better for a man, for a generation, to humble themselves, to be sober minded, and to throw away the madness one finds in discontent. It's a fool's heart that rushes into a matter with such great enthusiasm and passion as to forget there is consequence for one's actions. Sincerity and patience would build a more fulfilling future. What I find most troubling about this manifesto is that it seems that it is becoming the reality. Each generation that passes becomes more unstable, more chaotic with little to no reason behind it. You could say that The Futurist Manifesto is more foresight than it is ideology.
