a righteousness
I’m not an authority figure (the idea of which is utterly vapid to me), but the patterns are clear, a righteousness ideology is not a collaborative one.
Democracy is the enthralling understanding that the masses get to decide what to do about problems, whether the individual enjoys it or not. This is the embrace of realism and in direct counter to a single authority, which cannot stand alone. There is no getting out of it. Leaders topple when foist on the shoulders of humanity, as they can only ever fall from such heights. It’s not a goal to be reached, winning, being a winner is a brutal, unforgiving process and ultimately empty when it’s stands alone from the loser. You should be insulted at the thought of being an alpha, anything.
The caveat to this, is the illusion that the individual is inherently paramount, only it can make the right decisions (for others), if only the rest would just get on board. You’ve always know how hard it can be to get to the top, and it’s directly because we individually do not belong there, not for long.
Modern society is just a tweak to any other previous. The zeitgeist is only ever this conflict, when viewed as such, but it’s ultimately collaborative, constantly restructuring reality for all, not just one. The one that attempts to believe otherwise, is lost, delusionally ego centric. But the center doesn’t hold, not for stars, planets or people.
You don’t need to know this ultimate truth, you don’t need to understand it, you can watch it play out, over and over, yet there is always this “moving forward” ever adjusting narrative as creation, there’s no getting out of it. Why would you want to? It’s never been any other.
