We live in dark times in which deceit, manipulation, and gaslighting are rewarded. Times when intellectual and logical justifications override common values. Everything is permissible in the name of freedom, yet in that pursued the freedom is lost. However, do not be deceived, this pursuit is not a natural evolution of humanity, but a well orchestrated action to destroy and control.
It was in the 19th century when Frédéric Bastiat said:
“When misguided public opinion honors what is despicable and despises what is honorable, punishes virtue and rewards vice, encourages what is harmful and discourages what is useful, applauds falsehood and smothers truth under indifference or insult, a nation turns its back on progress and can be restored only by the terrible lessons of catastrophe.”
It was Mark Twain who also said:
“History Doesn’t Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”
The rhyming, author of this article postulates, is caused by wilful actions of malevolent players. Players who are masters in the deceit with a specific and premeditated objective. The layers of this are explained in this outreach.
The author of this outreach has personally witnessed the malicious family legal system while fighting for his child. As such, his personal experiences will dominate the writings here. The author however recognizes that this is a mere symptom of something much larger. A mere tentacle of an octopus. A behavior of a tentacle that is a mere symptom of the mind of the octopus. Readers are encouraged to share stories from their own personal lives. Author's intent is to encompass all tentacles in this outreach.
The malevolent players are the narcissists. Yet let's be careful of the labels lest they mean different things to different people.
Every single social structure created by humans, be it academic, political, corporate, or religious has always ended up being usurped and taken over by narcissists.
Unless we figure out how to contain the narcissists, the rhyming of the history shall continue until we learn the lesson. And it's about the time.
“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times are usurped by narcissists. And narcissists create hard times.”
When there are too many vampires and not enough blood, war entails.
