What is substitute to power?
It is hope.
Hope that someone will be nice to you. Care for you. Help you when you need it.
A trust in humanity. Trust in mother nature. In an universal God.
Something that is taught to us via stories. Folk tales, and movies.
So they keep the power. And you live in hope. A hope, while sufferings, but suffering with moral superiority.
They take away the land, the wealth, and the dignity. We keep suffering, but suffering with moral superiority. A morality that we are right. They are wrong.
But the stories are created by them. Morality is created by them. To divert, to subjugate.
Nature’s law is power. A lion eats the weak deer. Gets old, gets eaten by another lion.
Nature’s law is power. And powerful write the rules. The rules that we follow to look good in eyes of ourselves.
Hope is futile. Substitute to power? A bigger power.
