THE SECRECY OF EVIL
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
“…Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy… censorship. When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, ‘This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,’ the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives.” –Robert A. Heinlein

I’ve been reading the website for the book titled, “Political Ponerology“. It’s about time someone wrote a book about “evil” and the manifestations of psychopaths in politics and in society! With very few exceptions down the ages, discussions in moral philosophy – the study of “right conduct” – have failed to systematically investigate the origin, nature, and course of EVIL in a manner free from supernatural imaginings.
Evil was often considered something to be endured rather than something that could be understood and eliminated by rational measures. A “scientific” approach is called “ponerology”: or, the study of evil, comes from the Greek word “poneros” = evil.
Historically, in human society, secrecy has been the universal tool of priests, politicians and bankers to control civilizations for personal power, control and possession. For me, personally, I have a very simple view of “good” and “evil”. The lion and the zebra is a simple analogy: What is good for the Lion is evil for the Zebra!
One is the Predator, the other is the Prey. Predators and Parasites are everywhere in the “natural” environment. The simple fact is that Predators and Parasites ARE what they ARE! They cannot behave in any other way. It’s what they Do, and how they Think, it’s how they Survive! They cannot be changed unless they are removed from their natural environment and controlled, in a zoo or prison.
A common problem with “normal people” is that they expect the Predators and Parasites to NOT BE WHAT THEY ARE! It’s a simple inability to see what is front of their faces. The fact is that “Predators Kill Prey”. So, if you don’t what to become Prey for a Predator or Parasite, there are two option: 1) kill the predator or 2) stay away from them!
However, we must first recognize a predator when we see them! By nature the are sneaky, covert, stealthy. They hide in secrecy… They live among us, everywhere, blending into our environment, into the routine of our daily lives. They forbid us to LOOK at them!!! Then, when you least expect it, they POUNCE and devour their “food”. Their “food” is US!
It’s really not too hard to understand…. But we must be continually AWARE of predators and parasites…. they are hidden by secrecy.” — Lawrence R. Spencer.

ROOT OF ALL EVIL

“Since boredom advances and boredom is the root of all evil, no wonder, then, that the world goes backwards; that evil spreads.
This can be traced back to the very beginning of the world. The gods were bored; therefore they created human beings.”
~ Soren Kierkegaard ~

Søren Aabye Kierkegaard (5 May 1813 – 11 November 1855) was a Danish philosopher, theologian, poet, social critic and religious author who is widely considered to be the first existentialist philosopher. He wrote critical texts on organized religion, Christendom, morality, ethics, psychology and the philosophy of religion, displaying a fondness for metaphor, irony and parables. Much of his philosophical work deals with the issues of how one lives as a “single individual”, giving priority to concrete human reality over abstract thinking and highlighting the importance of personal choice and commitment.

PANDORA’S CAN OF WORMS
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
Metaphorically speaking, to open a “can of worms” means to inadvertently create numerous new problems while trying to solve one. Example: “Corruption in politics is such a can of worms that many journalists won’t take the risk of seriously investigating it.”
The “open a can of worms” metaphor is a modern extension of Pandora’s Box. In the original story, a mortal was warned not to open a box belonging to Pandora. When curiosity got the best of this mortal, she opened the box and inadvertently released numerous plagues on the world. According to legend, after all the destruction was released from the box the only thing remaining in Pandora’s box was Hope.
The “lesson” we are supposed to “learn” from the Pandora fable is this: “As long as the “can” remained sealed, there would be no harm”. Have Hope. And don’t ever look into the box where all the creepy, nasty creatures are hiding!
However, if we are want to have “Truth and Justice” or “Peace and Prosperity” in this world, we have to be willing to open Pandora’s Can of Worms. If we don’t identify and control the individual beings who are the source of crime, corruption, insanity, poverty, they will escape capture and continue creating chaos in the world. Once they’re out of the can, it’s a real bitch putting them back in again.
Fortunately, there are only a relatively small number of beings in the world who are responsible for the chaos and pestilence of society. They are criminals, bankers, politicians, military madmen and the scientific and artistic robots who make their destructive activities seem “reasonable”. The madmen who create chaos are the same lunatics who hire media moguls, performers, film makers to “sanitize”, and “beautify” and “glorify” war, crime and insanity. BEWARE: They are just as crazy and criminal as the madmen they work for.
Go ahead and open Pandora’s Can of Worms! We already know what happens when we don’t. We can’t control what we can’t see.
