How is it that -in this country, when we are in conflict with governmental agencies (which by the way we our selves have granted said legal-authority), they have the power to reprimand, or to discipline us as circumstances deem appropriate/necessary. However, when it comes to moral-authority (of which most, if not all, interventions on behalf of legal-authority are prompted by a breach or lapse in moral judgements on the part of the individual) -THE CHURCH USED TO BE THE ULTIMATE (MORAL) AUTHORITY (but now it seems, they are little more than a habit drilled into us by a generation with outdated ideals and beliefs). It doesn’t make much sense to have no authority or intervention, morally speaking, but to have an authorized body to intervene only after the moral lapse has occurred. Or is this our modern-day definition of freedom? It begs the question(s):
•Is this a design to give some false impression of freedom?
•Is it a design to perpetuate the downfall of man?
•Is it a design which justifies the uneven playing field of power with respect to one man over another (elitism)?
•Is it just another design for monetary gain (another form of elitism)? Man is continually coming up with new ideas for making money (preying on his fellow man) and having something to do while sailing thru the cosmos on this dwindling orb -and the legal system seems to accommodate on multiple levels. 1) make money (lots in some cases) 2) stay busy 3) help to increase rather than decrease inequality.*
A thought just occurred to me that I had many years ago. What’s happening in this country and in the world is a perfect storm. We break down the unity and the morals of society which weakens them and opens them up to being vulnerable to such things as corporate America and government and government and individuals with an agenda. In doing so we open up people people to seeking out comfort and and affiliation with other things.It’s like the wire monkey in Maslow’s experiment: If you remove what a person needs they will gravitate to what’s there. If you break down family and social bonds, people will gravitate to whatever’s put in front of them and made available. Some would call this smart -while others would call it diabolical! Do I have to tell you what I think!
