Description
Do you, like me, think to yourself that something is going wrong in our world, that things are changing, and not for the better? At my age I notice profound changes in generations, a lack of self-discipline, and not taking the initiative to get up off their arses and put their ideas into action. We humans are prone to what is known as getting in a rut. We are inherently lazy and lack confidence. Social media, Facebook, Twitter etc. and virtual games have exacerbated this inadequacy. I ask a vital Question "What is noticeable yet goes un-noticed? The answer is BIG TECH. A sector that has grown into a facilitation behemoth. It facilitates data collection, targets every known pocket of an individual's brain and facilitates manipulation. It nudges, cajoles, intrudes and intimidates and eventually controls. This BIG TECH behemoth has divided nations and the individuals in those nations. Who and what do we believe? What's happening in the world today? A world where trillions of dollars, and incidentally, not trickling down, but trickling up, and being sucked up and extracted out of the global economy into the hands of the already filthy rich. A world that is bled by a few percent of its inhabitants. A world where the elite wallow in safeguarded fortunes, properties, fine art collections, antiquities, super cars, private jets and yachts worth billions. A world with highly secretive networks and offshore shell companies oozing with pure unadulterated greed, corruption, murder, pedophilia, tax fraud and money laundering. A world where we rely on our leaders, governments and politicians to root out and rid us of these selfish and sordid atrocities. Alas this is not going to happen, because a percentage of the very people we rely on to eradicate these corrupt schemes, are themselves perpetrators. Beware greed and narcissism in a person. From the get go, a complex process can occur, and this powerful driving force in certain circumstances can infiltrate the psyche of bad individuals. Individuals with warped and twisted brains, who are prone, and capable of ruthlessness and cruelty. If a position of authority is gained, arrogance occurs in a person, and like a baton in a relay race, they will take it, and run with it, recognising their increased power on their way. This power can trigger the inner most subconscious demons in their heads. Some achieve great heights to become world leaders, and potential Dictators. This thought process escalates them to lead their country into battle, a selfish, greedy unquenchable thirst to invade and dominate neighbouring territory.
