Modern Values in Government

What is wanting a planet without humanity? It's voice. It's conscience. It's history. Art. Music. These only serve to confuse the hierarchy of power. Brute force. Slavery. Bigotry. Cruelty are the methods of ruling the world.

It would seem by learning about the United States of America, the now fallen empires such as Britain, Germany, France, Russia. China and all their colonial possessions. 

There is a deep division today. The rights of people, their health and education. And the values of those who are expected to keep order by control.

Some of us are not comfortable with brutality but of most us are not expected, not trained to maintain control. Yes we want systems of justice, laws, holidays and jobs. We want houses that will stand up to rough weather. We want to know where to go to get justice. We want the status quo. We admire the legal system and their knowledge of its strength. We want machines to be safe, to be built according to the rules.

We want fairness. We want to know the rules so we can move around freely. But those who are expected to hold up the systems we rely on know there is injustice, personalities that follow the rules convenient to their progress. Their jobs are stressful. Life is stressful because there are no guarantees.

Evil people learn how to manipulate systems and groups so they can do whatever they want. They don't love, they threaten, they seek a position where others kiss their feet because of fear. They value fear because societies of fear can be managed as long as you are the top. Not the bottom. The bottom is hell. The top is heaven. Almost. Meanwhile they seek to bully so they can feel "their power". 

And this word "power" is where I lose my readers. Because we are all familiar with the harsh parts of history. World War I and II, the French Revolution, the Holocaust, the fight for Communism in East Europe.

Tomorrow we celebrate the death and crucifixion of a young man who wanted to bring peace and love to the world but who was nailed to a cross, left to die a slow excruciating death. Now we call him the son of God. We created a trinity - Father, Son, Holy Ghost. There are other beliefs and religions, many began centuries before Jesus. Holy Men have been with us since the beginning of civilization. We punish those who don't follow 'the rules' with great pomp and eagerness. We build scapegoats from minorities, enslave them, blame them for everything that allows the rulers to continue governing by fear. 

The names and doctrines of our new movements change. Our heroes change, Our commandments change with new faiths and doctrines but the habits are essential. Blame minorities who are peaceful and creative. Make love immoral. Kill the Goddess. Maintain control over the whole planet. Seek to dominate other planets when ours has been abused to death. Imprison the wise, the creative, and worship the brutal haters.

Every so many generations, a war of contempt for life, brutalizes the heart and mind of all living things. Particularly those who have a history, traditions, and noble practices.

When we are loved, guided and educated, we know in the head and gut, we the public must not give up. Too much has been lost and too much is here to be lost. And if there comes a time when we forget who we are, everything shall be lost.
