Democracy must evolve. The fools understood enough of it to take control over it by force – a force of will that spreads lies through the minds. The fools cause chaos and offer no solution for it. A conscious fool finds the solution before bringing awareness of the chaos. Democracy must evolve – we must evolve – evolve to conscious thinkers; self-sustained individuals alone – capable of anything in groups, for a better interconnected and interdependent humanity.
We think therefore we are. When we think consciously, we feel consciously, we perceive consciously – we become more capable of making conscious decisions, decisions that have no negative impact on the world.
Brutus assassinated Caesar as a responsibility. Caesar died for not sharing the power he acquired through sweat & blood – the power of a real emperor. The danger already matured enough in Rome. Caesar’s nephew, Octavian, was the first emperor – representing the beginning of the end. One man should never rule – that was the ultimate rule – yet he did it, and even worse…. from the shadows. He was involved in every important decision-making group within the Roman Empire, spreading too wide for a horse-speed courier to deliver words from center to end – and back again. The empire began to fall as the mind of one man could not comprehend such vastness with real content.
How can one man’s rules not become law, therefore ruling with terror?
It was the beginning of the end. People see – people do; with less & less understanding, until there is nothing left to know. The following emperors learned from the first how to rule, then learned from who was left – until there was no one left. Rome could have been today the whole of Europe if the emperor had understood first – he’s just another man, and all men and women want their freedom of choice eventually, especially if the wealth is entropically distributed. But with such powers, a few individuals with the emperor at the center control most of the wealth while being capable of influencing the rest. Empires have strict limitations on choice and freedom.
Rome could have been the most diverse living civilization, embracing the rest of humanity with their uniqueness – yet at the will of one man, became part of history today. How many falls of “Rome” are we away from another millennial decadence?
The sole purpose of an empire is to conquer, otherwise it would become a country – a republic. America’s military power secured, with the good & bad decisions, worldwide security – fragile as it was and still is – was never before possible. New empires are rising, with enough wealth to conquer – after dividing ( who should we thank for this way of behaving in the world? ).
Eighty years of peace in Europe, then Trump, then war. A peace kept through the effort of many crumbles now at the will of few. One man should not decide what everyone should do. We grew too big for any mind – maybe beside of a Buddha’s mind ( but how could I know since I still call myself Ï ). We grew too big to reform – too big to fail. We, the people of humanity, have a continuous choice to make every moment – the only real choice.
“Whether we make our next decision as consciously as possible, taking every aspect we can under careful consideration, reflect and contemplate before we act – or we fall into our trap and unconsciously react.”
The US & NATO did not keep the peace through the mind of one man but through the collaboration of many experts – men & women (dogs and dolphins also). Having one man to call the shots for millions, affecting billions…what a world would it be?
What should we do? Be again cruel? To ourselves and everyone around? To seek our freedom through controlling everything else? Impose fear born from our resentments towards others? Forgetting what we are as humans – mistaking who we are as people? Can we become something better while choosing to remain dormant? Can we dream without good sleep? Can we create without content?
Instant messaging – the possibility to spread lies through the world, while the truth only lies in one place. Few dare to inquire and search for it. Should we trust them or any of you?
We all can witness the truth if only we understand the context enough. The immediate surroundings seem easy to observe, but the more we go into details, the more the resolution of our perception increases – the more information we have to deal with. Construction knowledge is easy too. We just have to think a little. Finding the truth from our knowledge – knowledge that can be real or illusory – knowledge that can have a connection with the perceived world or can be just a fantasy created with our minds. The truth is found beyond knowledge, we have to feel it – through contemplation we get insights – then structure them into understanding – then into change, of our behavior – the of the people we interact with.
How can we find the truth in this overwhelmed-by-information world? This is a quest for every human to walk through – until we trust ourselves enough to trust everyone else.
Those who are smart enough to understand this must adapt to the less fortunate in life, teach them without expectation – help them learn & understand what you feel they need. The world is big, too big to fail, too big to reform – we must continuously adapt, continuously learn & teach, continuously understand & evolve.
For anyone else, besides the “emperors” of our days.
