FAACKED EP68 : Monologue
Human beings are capable of some amazing things. Our ability to empathize with one another being one of them. In a cold and uncaring universe, it is us humans that carry the warmth of love and compassion for our fellow man that can help us all survive the uncaring elements. But not every person you offer that blanket of fellowship to will return the favor. Some folks want more than just that blanket and decide to take more from you rather than ask. Some lie. And some kill to have the comforts you do, although those comforts won't last without one another and the coldness settles in deeper within them.
Why do we betray one another? Is it a survival instinct that is more likely to be triggered in some? Maybe some ancient tribal memories from conquests long ago whose violence ripples throughout generations?
Maybe, but in terms of what we do about our betrayals in life I've found that severing ties seems to do the trick. Sometimes that's a lot harder than just not picking up when someone calls. Sometimes the ones who betray you are the people you work for. Having to make the decision to potentially ruin yourself financially, be out on the streets, or starving isn't an option so some people swallow their pride and allow the abuse to happen.
For example, if you've researched the mRNA jab and found it not to be for human or even animal consumption (too late there too but that's another story) your boss can just mockingbird the line “safe and effective” and force you onto the vaccine train car or face being unemployed and maybe even unemployable.
That boss may feel he or she is doing the right thing but that's giving them the benefit of doubt that they actually considered the moral choice. After speaking with a good friend of mine last night, I realize that not everyone has that same internal dilemma going on that I do whenever it comes to making moral decisions.
Why is that?
Was it my upbringing with my wonderful parents and grandparents that instilled a moral value in me that factors into (most) of my decisions?
Nurture is certainly a factor. I believe that if people aren't taught the proper procedures if you will, for how to treat other people that you can experience some interesting results. I'm sure the cannibals that ate the missionaries had some different customs than we do whenever it comes to visitors. But is there a deeper rooted part of our nature that turns people into Judases and Brutuses?
Some people deceive so easily where others cannot. Some people can end any sort of life without care, and no matter how innocent of a life that could be. We tend to separate those people from the rest of us but until the behavior is revealed those people are around us. It can make one paranoid, afraid of letting others in, and may result in pushing people away that can help you instead of hurt you.
I have been betrayed, by my friends, people I've loved, and I also feel that I've been betrayed by the people that claim to represent my country. Whatever sort of retaliation I can think of will ultimately only satisfy my emotional needs and that runs parallel to the same tracks as betrayal. Vengeance never gave me a lasting satisfaction, in fact in many cases it made me the bad guy. Doing unto others what they do unto you, when its evil that they do, then what does that mean that you are doing?
Peaceful solutions may not be the easiest to cope with. Our emotions drive us towards a short term victory in being hurtful or destructive, especially towards those who have betrayed us. But the better solution is to not turn our backs on those who may have long knives, but to keep ours holstered and calmly walk backwards out of the situation.
So where does that leave us that have no country? Those that have been betrayed, lied to, and stolen from?
We find each other and offer the kindness that only we can understand. Leave the cold, backstabbing, reptile brained jerks to their own devices. People that only know how to destroy aren't good at maintaining things so it won't take them long to collapse.
In our new country we want honest people that we appoint and if they aren't they get the boot. We respect each other and all life. We don't lie, cheat, or steal, we take our vitamins, say our prayers, and we don't betray one another or our principles.
All nations begin with a concept and then materialize throughout time. Right now, the ideas inside our heads for a more free country that has principles rooted in Liberty may seem like a distant goal, and it is. We have a lot to do to stand on our own once we leave the abusive relationship we were dependent upon for survival. That's why we need each other. Through the good people we find and especially through the ones we create, the act of betrayal that made us leave was the stone not in motion that was given a push. And just like that something that could have sat for an eternity is in motion, change is happening, and may the forces of nature guide us to a destination where that warmth of love and empathy is common practice among all of our people because the future generations are taught of the evils and harms of betraying our fellow man.
