I find it interesting that humans….be they an individual or a organized assembly such as a country….always finds within itself the desire for power and with that desire, never let power go when they lose control of said power…
This aspect above is why we humans find ourselves neck deep in multiple “bones of contention” all the time…
I really like the idea:
“It was a good ride and we had lots of fun being in charge and now it is time to go retire in peace and quiet!”
Yet, the West cannot retire, for if they do retire?
All the things they have done and all the lies they have stated as facts and all the death they have caused….will come to haunt them as the victims come forth and take their revenge…
“Revenge” is another interesting human trait….and people in power, whom ruled with empty promises and a pointed sword are very afraid of Revenge….and revenge is deep in the hearts of the victims, which those in power, abused…
So a person and or country that tries to rule and whips the subjects to increase their power, will find that as they whip the subjects, the whip becomes less effective and the means to increase their power takes more drastic ways of whipping that subject. It comes to a point that the whipper is hurting themselves more than the whipped….yet, the whipper does not know what else to do and keeps whipping…
Interesting….isn’t it?
How even a country acts like an individual in its ascent, plateau and descent in its life…
Those in power scream: “I want to be KING forever!”
