Do you ever wonder why even when people protest or are against things some do it anyways?

There is a group that thinks people should be a resource to serve them, or work for them for their benefit only, instead of for the benefit of most people. Not all people are like that but there is a group that believes in farm doctrine where people are livestock, and they think of themselves as superior.


That explains what they do when people protested insurance companies controlling health care, and when many other petitions of grievance are submitted by large groups of people and ignored.

Do you ever wonder why they say you will 'get use to it'?

Do you wonder why the bankers take large bonuses even when people know it is wrong?


They think you are livestock to serve them.

How do you break a horse, you ride it till it stops bucking, that is what they do many times, when you protest, they keep doing the same things thinking you will just be quiet and take it. Because they want to break your spirit, also why they add in despair and hopelessness.


So what do you do, a couple things, bounce back is good, if you find your self in a bad state of mind, or capitulation, take a breath and get back to claiming your freedom and rights and defending the rights of others. Or wait for your moment and shake those types off when they least expect it. There probably are better metaphors, but the point is they are trying to break you to get you to accept what they want, not what they can defend as correct.



So where is the flaw in that metaphor? They don't own you, they are not superior to you, and you are not their resource or livestock, nor can they fence you in, or claim that you have to work for them.

The funny part is if they treat people with respect, and dignity for better goals for all, then most people, once the reasons are known, work for the same goals. But some have goals that are not for what they think of as only livestock. However there are many that actually work with many for better goals also. The idea is for everyone to serve everyone, not for some to claim to be served at the cost of some others. Most have no problem helping other people, but that is different then being told you have to help people not in need, and while doing that hurt those in need.




And on a side note to a few people, if you believe in the spiritual, and believe that what you do, and how you treat people is how you get treated, and if you think people are resources only for your benefit, and only if they can do something for you. Then what value would you have to that spiritual, if those rules were applied to you? What could you ever be as a resource for the supernatural, or 'do' for concepts as most see the spiritual?

A song that is pretty good :) Side note, I don't see anything wrong with the song, what do you see when you hear it?

(Thinking oneself superior, is not a comment on Confucius 'superior person', since that concept is about making oneself better by knowing ones own flaws, not by thinking oneself already perfect)
