There is no reason for hate. There is no reason for pain, or suffering, or evil, or greed. They are evolutionarily harmful. They do not benefit the species, that one percent of the population could have 98 percent of the power and wealth. This is not helpful. They use the rest of us as stepping stones, as rungs on the latter to immortality. Nothing more and nothing less. And what's worse is that we continue to let them do this. We continue to remain satisfied with the tablescraps we are fed, with the oozing cesspool they call water that trickles down from on high to satisfy our thirst just enough to keep us subservient, just enough to keep us complacent.
Who amongst this one percent goes without food? Who amongst them goes without shelter? Or healthcare? Or education? Or legal representation? Who amongst them does not get today all that the forefathers of this nation promised over 200 years ago?
And then there are the rest. 99 percent of the population is controlled by the whims and desires of the 1 percent holding power and wealth in this nation. They decide for us what we're going to wear, what we're going to see on television, what we're going to eat, and how much we're going to pay for services. They decide if we are going to get healthcare. They decide if we're going to get a decent education. They decide how we live.
In this, we have war. We have hunger. We have sickness. And we have pain. We don't what they get. We get only what they need to give us so that we will continue to keep them head and shoulders above us all. We are the drowning foundation of an empire allowed only periodic breaths of air because an hour in fresh air and freedom equates to a desire for more and that leads to not wanting to decend back beneath the murky waters to continue to hold them up for no true benefit of our own.
Why do pain and suffering exist? Why does greed exist? Does evolution seriously suggest survival not only of the fittest, but survival of the most self-centered? Some would look at the world and say yes, but I look at what we've become during these years of corporate control and Big Business lobbying, of Constitutional jurymandering and rendition, and I see a world in revolt. Like an immune system trying to purge the body of an infection, the puss swells around the Bush Administration and others who have so served themselves from public coffers and in time it will be rooted out entirely.
Nature tends towards homeostais, towards balance, and the scales have been tipped in one direction for a very long time. Not too far into the future, the balance will tip back again, and WE THE PEOPLE will mean something again, not as subserviant captives of a self-serving select few, but of the ideas of every human for each other and peace for all. See us not for our differences but for our sames as human beings and bring forth from our toils benefits for all of society, and not just tablescraps and trickling waters. I want a seat at the table. And I want the thirsts of humankind to be quenched. As the seesaw tilts back our way, justice will be had and evolution will thank us.
