Is Our Confidence Waning?

[Oblivionaddicted]

• Someone who doesn't plan to do anything bad will never oppose anything likely to prevent him/her from doing something bad
• The separation of the powers with medias independent from the companies and the state, an independent justice with penalties based on the facts instead of the power ratios, an equal financing for all the parties and the prohibition of any cumulation of powers like economical and political are the best means to ensure the politicians, bosses etc have nothing to win and everything to lose trampling our rights
• The separation of powers is THE thing the politicians systematically keep under silence

 

Given these elements people objectively don't have any reason to trust the politicians.

I think yes.

Current System doesn't teach the Human to become Confident and strong.

It encourages some Humans to whine and beg for help and remain weak.

At the same time it encourages the rest to offer help to the weak.

They do so and feel superior while the others remain weak and passive.

 

The right think would be to show the Path so Humans become stronger and confident.

They need a Trainer not a Babysitter.

 

The source of the problem and the reason is because the System remains but also grows stronger that way as this method only strengthens the foundation of the ''Pyramid Structure of Society'' The Pyramid System is a thing of the Past and older Totalitarian and Theocratic Doctrines.

It doesn't belong in the modern world no matter how much Power Centers try to preserve it. It doesn't help with Evolution. It only slows it.

 

It must die and we must be the ones to ''usurp'' and kill it. Literally.

OP, questioning oneself is a normal part of maturing as an intellectual being. That doubt you feel means that you are questioning your assumptions about the world and about yourself. And questioning ones assumptions is never a bad thing. Doing so can lead to wisdom.

 

And from a personal perspective, there are a LOT of folks in this thread that really need to question their assumptions. Blaming "the System" or "politicians" or "fear of the unknown" is ludicrous. If you want to understand the lack of confidence, look to the well that confidence springs from. Knowledge. When one is secure in their facts, one is confident in themselves. When one is poorly educated, deliberately ignorant, or closed minded to the facts, their confidence will suffer.

 

On "the fear of the unknown", we navigate each day into the realm of the unknown. It is unavoidable. The variables are too plentiful and chaos will always win. Still, we get out of bed each dawn, confident that we will return in the evening. It is not the "fear of the unknown" which saps our confidence. It is the lack of preparedness for the unknown which paralyzes us and makes us lose our confidence. So here again, it is ignorance which erodes our confidence.

 

So buck up, boys and girls. Read, learn, educate yourself. As you expand your knowledge, you will increase your confidence.

 

"the system". Pffft. What a Orwellian excuse for personal ignorance.

The System is not just a creation of the few. We all feed it with our tolerance.

Supposedly we created it to serve us but we ended up serving it.

We must change first in order to change it.

 

With that being said,

not recognizing the various sources of the whole problem George Orwell mentions,

just due to the inability to see behind the curtain and fear to go through the labyrinth of information,

to separate truths from lies,

is ignorance.

 

There is nothing wrong with George Orwell

How do you know when a politician is lying? His lips are moving.

 

If you tell the lie often enough, folks will eventually start believing it. Look at all the conspiracy theorists out there, and some of their truly off the wall 'theories'...... for all the proof you need this is true.

 

Here in the US, I don't expect anything to change, short of the second revolution. Sure, 'the people' supposedly have the power, but, thats just another lie. It's government that has all the power. The only folks in a position to change anything at all, are the very save folks that benefit the most from not changing anything. Therefore, nothing is going to change.

I agree completely. Its true. Nothing will change.

 

Usually historical changes happen when there is a powerplay between factions.

Eventually the New becomes corrupt in time and gets replaced again.

 

Rinse and repeat.

 

I believe the real deal is to observe and try to not get affected by any change.

But this is easier said then done when you live in an urban environment and have no foundation for your personal independence.

Not very easy to escape it.
