"All this is meaningless, a chasing after the winds."

Its entirely possible that my understanding of this allusion is wildly wrong, but my current understanding of the connotations of that specific allusion disturbs and repulses me.

Care to explain what your specific meaning was? As of now Im left to believe that you are indicating a belief that "bad is better" and living under tyranny will somehow bring us "closer to god".

You talk about escaping to some place, “without tyranny”, and yet evil is in the heart of all men. That is the only point I was trying to make.

You cannot, in this world, truly escape tyranny.
