Lost Leaders

An associate claims that human beings are suggestible by design in that they are meant to be impressionable in order to be imprinted with the good or right way.This has the obvious downside of us being prone and prey to false teachings and ideas which seem plausible to us in our gullible receptive state.

From birth almost, we are subject to false teachings,in the space of a few years we have taken in all the garbage of the world.From our parents with their flawed nature to our teachers who systematically bamboozle and confuse, to the books we read, the media we are immersed in, the 'experts', the authorities we listen to, we are led up the garden path to confusion and error. A woman who had committed grave crimes was once asked what her biggest mistake was and she simply replied'"listening to other people".

There you have it. Listening to to other people. There is no such thing as an original thought, true enough but some people go out of their way to be second handers! Take the issue of money-making. Thousands of books are printed promising to make us rich. It is a huge industry. Business gurus make millions promising to show us how to think and grow rich. They have no record of success.They are hope peddlars.Dream peddlars.They are in the business of making themselves rich.They profess great love of humanity. They want to help us.Why are they selling their knowledge instead of giving it away if their motivation is love for humnaity? Logic is important here. If they know how to make millions why aren't they doing it instead of trying to sell us a business manual for $100 ?!? The desperate clutch at straws..

We may not know the right way to go but we surely have the capacity to know the wrong away and the sense enough to void it? Bottom line is surely, we are lazy and would rather have other people do our thinking for us and chew our food for us.That's why most of us working for someone else.We can then moan and complain and join unions and try and screw our employer for more than we deserve and demand a minimum wage and 6 weeks holiday and a job for life and divers other benefits.Our life is someone else's responsibility - and that's how we like it!

This way tyranny lies. Politicians know full well this disposition of ours to want the unearned,the free lunch.They tap into our greed and inherent parasitic nature and they exploit it to the full. Received wisdom is the tyranny that holds sway over us.Politicians are on the cutting edge of societal evilution.They love doing our thinking for us -and it always leads to disaster.Never mind, we can throw them out at the next election and vote in another bunch of criminals!
