Winston's diary

"He was a lonely ghost uttering a truth that nobody would ever hear. But so long, as he uttered it, in some obscure way the continuity was not broken. It was not by making yourself heard but by staying sane that you carried on the human heritage. He went back to the table, dipped his pen and wrote:

To the future or to the past, to a time when thought is free, when men are different from one another and do not live alone -to a time when truth exists and what is done cannot be undone:
From the age of uniformity, from the age of solitude, from the age of Big Brother, from the age of double think -greetings!"


And this is the boys' analysis:

Alone with his mind, Winston shouted this truth to release himself from opression. He was so sure no one would ever hear his truth because everybody else was controlled.

Winston lived in a uniform world, where nobody can think clearly, but he had a hope, to return to a past time when everyone was free.

  1. Communication... what an important thing!

    Just like Stephen Hawking said in his speech which is included at the beginning of "Keep Talking" by Pink Floyd:

    "For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination: we learned to talk."

    The blog is great. Keep going!

  4. "To the future or to the past, to a time when thought is free. when men "do not live alone","to a time when truth exists ".

    My personal opinion about it, is that human being's mind has been influenced and manipulated by others thoughts and beliefs since human is aware, therefore it has never been free. in adition to this, i totally agree with the phrase that says that men do not live alone... basically because it has the potential to be a social being,thats why its important for him/her to live in sociaty, not isolated.
    Finally i believe that nevermind the time, past,present or future, TRUTH always exist but human doesnt have the capacity and lucidity to realize and understand on its own what the truth is and refers to.. and it seems much easier to let others control our minds than having our own arguments.
    Thats all i can say for now.

  5. I think everyone´s life had been manipulated by the Party at all ways, it controls everything and told everyone what to think and to do.People have no freedom at all, but they don´t seem to noticed.It´s also explicit "IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH".Nobody control their own life and stay just like the rest, doing what they told to.Winston´s thoughts are totally against that but he couldn´t do nothing but thinking and some righting with hope, from other people maybe from other time when thrut exists.I agree with Selene they just let others control their life and minds... that´s why they still can manipulating people and controling this society.
