Well done, @deirdyweirdy. I agree with @ammonite. This seems like a summary of or a part of a much longer work! I think a lot of people today would see much truth in this Orwellian story, where it turns out the way to control the masses is to get them to agree willingly to the terms.
Cheers Jayna, I must say I see a lot of truth in it myself. I feel sometimes as if the whole world has been flipped on its head. Everything seems to be upside down.
I agree. And so do many many others. That is what gives me hope — that we can set things on a better course again, where the environment, fairness, respect for all, and a healthy global economy prevail.

I wish I could share your optimism but it seems to me that our freedom is being attacked from every angle and we're walking, heads down and phones in hand, into the cage being constructed around us. We're so divided by nonsense like left/right, Christian/Moslem that we're fighting each other instead of realising that if we don't hang together we'll all hang separately.
I do really believe it will be okay. It’s just really scary right now.
