How I Realized I Wanted to Try Drugs Too
And what happened when I did
Power is a drug
and the junkies are not who you might expect.
You see, everyone thinks elites are corrupt, and they’re right. But they go wrong in assuming that everyday men and women are not.
The truth is that it’s often those deprived of power who are driven to extreme and oppressive means. They’re craving even the slightest hint of control. And they’re ready to do whatever it takes for this.
Behind any epidemic crisis,
Behind any environmental issues,
Behind every current popular social phenomenon (the current thing), there are opportunists who see a means to get what they desperately crave…
More power.
Treat your favorite influencers’ words as the plague. Always ask yourself what they have to gain or lose by saying what they say.
Often, you’ll discover that their reputation, built on values like honesty, conviction, or other nice-guy intentions, is simply a smokescreen.
Have you ever met one of these in person?
Have you spent some time with them in ‘real life’?
The truth? I’ll tell it to you.
They speak in numbers and money. They relish the small privileges of having influence. And they don’t hesitate to abuse them if given the chance, even if it contradicts all the values they defend in front of cameras
But in the end, we don’t care. It’s their life.
What’s even more worrying is when they use that newfound power to deprive you of your freedom.
The elite few who dictate the rules in the high court aren’t particularly dangerous. In fact, they can’t do anything without a group of courtiers sucking up to them for brownie points.
For every rule you can think of, there are three categories of people:
- The big elite, that build the rules
- A significant group of enforcers ensuring compliance with the rules
- Those who dare to challenge the rules
