Is it a collective state of hypnosis?!
Do you see the state of the world? Violence, war, corruption, competition, and the like! Do you think or say how come we are watching what is happening (e.g., the wars) and remain silent! Or why are there bi-standards where we value humans differently! Or we blame each other for what we have become! And the rest of it!
Well, it seems to me we are in a collective state of hypnosis!
By hypnosis, I simply mean a state of being influenced subconsciously bypassing our conscious attention. And the forms of this are evident, forms of media, politics, education (yes our educational system is not fit-for-purpose), economy (consumption-based model), you name it.
Are we so mentally weak to be influenced in such a way?!
This is corruption! The form of corruption you see in institutions, societies, and governments are mere reflection of our own corruption.
‘The end justifies the means’ is a terrible common expression to that effect. When one has an ambition, a form of desire, their actions go towards that ambition, regard-LESS of the others.
And when we have no, little or some regard to the other, we put them second. There is then comparison, there is competition, and that is corruption.
By corruption, I mean abusing or causing harm to oneself or another in order to achieve a perceived personal gain. The word ‘corruption’ actually comes from the Latin root that means ‘to break’ and ‘with, together’. So, the word speaks for itself, it is inherently divisive and destructive.
The reality is that you include the other, and the other includes you. So, if there is any gain, truly, it is gain for both you and the other. And if there is loss, it is loss for you and the other.
So, don’t be corrupt!
Don’t be influenced!
WAKE UP!
