What
Is A Society, Really?
What
is a society, really, in simple understandable terms?
It
has many aspects but the moment any one of them is all of them can be
understood. Let's look at one. Consider a professional football team.
It is actually a corporation, not a team at all. The team is owned
and controlled. The main purpose of the corporation is to make money
from its ownership of the rights to field a team in competition
against other teams who operate under the rules made by an
association of all the owner-corporations in a sports league. Each
corporation owning such rights owns a team of athletes, a stadium,
the exclusive rights to the team's logo so as to merchandise all
types of products for sale to fans of the team, most of which remain
throughout their lives completely ignorant of any of these
arrangements and prefer that condition to reality so they can
actually fall into a thinking pattern which attaches to a created
group think, psychologically designed, to hypnotize them and their
friends and loved ones into a trance that has them feeling strong
loyalties to a completely imaginary system. No corporation of record,
and they have no existence otherwise (unlike you and me), none of
them bleed, feel pain or give a damn about us.
Johnny
Cash sang a song dealing with drug addiction the horrors of which he
had experienced personally and from which he was able to find
freedom. A simple opening line of the song is: “I hurt myself
today”. What is described above in discussion of one aspect of an
organized society which of itself is only a minor part of a huge web
wrought out of nothing, a figment, called a nation is equally
addictive and more disgraceful by far. The number of casualties and
atrocities during all the wars waged over the centuries is
incalculably enormous. In fact, wars are fought by young boys who are
drugged to enable them to kill like maniacs and endure its horror.
What
have we become?
The
goal or driving force behind the sports team is to win the Super Bowl
and become a dynasty. The goal of a society is to become an Empire.
Most of its citizens will remain fans. However many fans will become
bored and drop out of the scene to be labeled as losers by owners and
fans. Only a small proportion of its citizens will own one or more of
its teams. They run the show. Do we honestly believe that without a
society organized in such a way, you and I would be too inept or
stupid to share the Earth in a happy, fulfilling way? One thing we do
know by now, though, is the way we are going about it has totally
failed billions of us. The key thing to understand is simple: the
creation of an organized society automatically and with absolute
certainty creates a drive to build an empire. This means all but a
relative few will be dragged headlong into an abyss reeking havoc
along the way.
Now
for some good news. The Maker created the Universe to be friendly to
all who will receive its warmth as a gift. Arrogance is the true
enemy of people. Humility opens a door you do not know exists if you
but give it a chance. There is another way to live that is
fulfilling. Trust in the giant who you are to show you day by day. It
is as sure as the tides and the Sun and the Moon and gravity and
breath there is a society afoot that was not organized by the mind of
man. It does not print money and does not build jails and never
argues.
We
humans are here to care for each other in the face of cold, heartless
societies. We alone have hearts.
