The trouble with trying to suppress an innate human tendency is that it will sprout anyway, like seeds beneath concrete, and it will break up all that nice smooth concrete.
Humans are basically predator animals, and this predatory nature has to be expressed somehow. Wars are handy escape valves for this excess display of virility and ingenious interpretation of dominance versus submission. All this “equality” shinola kind of goes out the window, when one stereotype or another is demolished and replaced with new, equally distorted stereotypes.
Someone will always be “up”, and someone will always be “down”. The great American experiment showed that the layers of “up” or “down” are not static or permanently striated into immutable levels. Individuals break from one level to another all the time.
White males of western European origin are, for the moment, “down”. But keep in mind, these are the most bloodthirsty, rapacious, unrelenting pirates that have ever evolved on this planet, and once they have shed their largely self-imposed limitations on their actions, the balance of things will return.
With a vengeance. “Being fair” is not an option.
Bingo!
The answer to this fundamental question seems to be hidden in the fact that hate is what we know well. It's been around since the beginning of the ages.
No one, man, woman or child, no nation or groups have been able to contain it. Everyone claims they don't have it and everyone claims they are the victims of it. Everyone believes they have the perfect solution for it and yet it lives on.
For the survival of our own species we all build up or defenses against it and war against each other.
Who is this enemy? Is it really a person? Of course, we say, most certainly it must be that other person, that other group, not us... it was the one who struck first. It was "their" fault. But who really struck first? Can we recall a real beginning point to this hate?
It must be in the air we breath, it can not possibly be part of me so it must be you because I know it is there and I can not place my hand on it.
Will you accept that someone must pay for this hate? Will it be you or me? It must be stopped. We all know it must be stopped.
I don't want to pay for the hate of the ages, so will you please pay the price of it for me? No you say, I must be the one, my people and my children.
Well I am not that strong. Find someone else.
And so we will go forward, on and on feeding the hate. Going from one place to the other looking for the one to blame for it all, until someone pays today for yesterday.
Won't someone please volunteer to pay so we can just stop? Is there no one who is willing? Not even for the whole world?
Surely that person will be worshiped for saving us, but no, even if that person did pay for us, we would not recognize it because all we have ever known is hate. We know how to deal with it...blame someone else.
How can we live without it now? It is familiar to us. So we must all worship it instead. We will feed the hate beast daily with grievances of all kinds and will forever until the end, when we all pay.
That price will surely be the death of us all.
