from the mind of critic-10/14/16

From the mind of critic: “If our political system is based on whoever has the most money gets to decide the rules and who they apply to, is that because they’re the same rules that apply to our personal lives? Is it any wonder that elected officals with the most influence are the ones who have the most rich people in their pockets, when the vast majority of the super rich believe they can live their lives with impunity? Is this because we as a society look up to people with a lot of money as being huge successes, who therefore are above all the little people, and shouldn’t have to be governed by the same rules and justice system? Or do we know the evolutionary setbacks this way of thinking causes, and are trying to fight back against it, but because it has become so ingrained since the beginning of time, that it’s such a long, hard and slow march to progress, that it makes any positive change extremely hard to see? The people with all the gold might make the rules, but it’s only because we’ve allowed them to. Some of us that think if somebody has money and influence, they must know more about what’s wrong and how to fix it, so we relinquish our control. Once we realize that taking back this control entails us standing up and never sitting down again, we’ll see that not only will our generational and ingrained problems will float away, but polticians ebholden to the super rich will cease to exist. Maybe if we stop automatically revering the super rich simply for being super rich, we’ll stop corrupt politcians from being created. To fix our political system we must fix our personal system, and to do that, we must revere whats actually real, not what we think is real” 🙂
