Ah yes, @wales
Evil rarely comes in the form of a frontal assault, it comes in the Trojan horse of our weakness and once entered in it is pervasive and won’t go away on its own but has to be driven out by the use of the pillars of wisdom.
Real, genuine wisdom is what this world is short on.
I wonder if it is the evil ones that control things that keep it that way...
Are we robotically inclined to obey; is our programming up to date; are we affirming our beliefs; are our thoughts radicalised enough today to turn against our enemies? Or have we turned off the TV, that powerful tool that is used to influence the masses to think and believe in a certain way to bring about whatever is wanted by the controllers in power?
The illusion is all encompassing and penetrates to our very essence and seems so real that people will kill to uphold it and keep it in place in the consciousness.
Anyone that speaks out against it becomes an enemy of the system, a subversive to be watched and rounded up when the time comes for the big crackdown to bring back control and neutralise the enemy.
If you think outside the proscribed boxes taught by the system and don’t keep it to yourself then you will be deemed as dangerous to the system and all those enclosed within it that might be influenced by your ideas, so much so that imprisonment or even death may be used against you to control and contain you.
But they can’t control everyone all of the time, just the most radical and so fear is used to keep people in check and while some letting off steam is tolerated, anyone venting too much will have a home visit and may even be taken away to one of the camps for a reboot or even a complete reprogramming.
But all this was written about long ago in Orwell’s 1984 and other writings that came to warn but were ignored by the masses as more entertainment, for the government would never do that to us, we voted them in and we can vote them out, right?
So, do we feel safe in the illusion? Are we being taken care of by our masters? Do we feel in control? Are we obeying all the laws? Do we want to change anything, or are we content with the way things are?
