You defend your master? You don’t question the leash... you just hope for a kinder hand to hold it? That’s not wisdom. That’s fear. Fear of standing on your own, of taking full responsibility for your own life. You don’t want freedom; you want comfort. You want rulers who will take care of you, laws that will guide you, a system that will tell you what is right and wrong so you don’t have to decide for yourself.
This is the mindset of a slave... of someone who has lived under control for so long that they can’t imagine anything else. You believe in the State because you can’t bear to think of life without it. You tell yourself that power can be fair, that rulers can be good, that governments can serve the people. But history has shown time and again that power serves itself. The State doesn’t exist to uplift you... it exists to keep itself alive.
*You think it’s foolish to reject the system. But what’s truly foolish is believing that the same game, played with new rulers, will ever end differently. You don’t need a better master. You need to stop needing one at all."*
