RE: 'Battered Citizen Syndrome' is a condition that we need to take seriously

An interesting view on the political system. Love Agent X's description myself... no one can find flaw in it.

On the other hand, politics is power, and power comes from money. Because once again people seem to think money is the root of everything worth it, and their culture of scarcity - cultivated by our overlords - tends to format their thinking.

Having said this, this means we are in this abused relationship not because of despair, but because we fail to think for ourselves.

Cheers, good post.

Sort:  

I agree with most of what you said. I'm not sure if I agree about power coming from money. Money is merely a representation that we give it through our value or desire for it. In my view, power comes from spirit and our willingness to surrender that power and authority to others because we lack the will or ability to govern it ourselves. Money seems to hoodwink people with the allure of the acquisition of physical things and to get people to do our bidding as our slaves. It is too easy to manipulate people when they value that which one has possession of.

Now here's the thing, I mean power comes from money because the masses believe it does. It's like money having value, it has value because the masses believe it has.

Now, as long as people believe that power comes from money and that is the panacea to heal all things, it will be a source of power and greed. Hence why the way we see money has to change.

I AGREE!!! Thank you for clarifying the intent of your post. That is why it is so important to help people work through where our true source of power and authority comes from. <3
