Life & Death
(This post discusses the nature of authority...)
Time to face it.
We're all gonna die!
Eventually, it seems, inevitable. Though anything is possible.
I have been studying the nature of our situation here on this planet since I was old enough to understand that it can end in an instant. I could die before I finish writing this piece. & no doubt there are some who wish that I would! I would imagine, even a few more, who might like to assist in making it possible.
Authority has an effect on people. Once a person gets a little of it, they tend to never want to relinquish it. Even more concerning is that many can never get enough of it.
Authority, or more precisely, the rush of dopamine supplied by using it, is addictive.
The authority we are transferring to others is a toxin. It is, indeed, intoxicating. If you question this, find a partner and conduct a little experiment. Surrender your authority to your partner. See how it makes them feel. Now have your partner surrender to you.
How does that feel?
Now imagine total strangers have to automatically surrender to you.
Making sense?
Let us consider authority for a moment....
