Immunity (to wisdom)

Don't let them read, don't let them learn. Keep them suppressed and make sure they never start using their brain. It all makes sense now. If they start learning, they'll stop buying the rhetoric you sell to them and once they stop buying that, you won't have feeble minds to rule over anymore. Once you don't have feeble minds to rule over, who will you sell roti, kapra aur makaan to? No exaggerated rhetoric of war will win people's support.

You say we have the bomb? I say keep your bomb, give me food instead. We don't have electricity, we don't have food and as a matter of fact, we don't have freedom to talk openly.

The bomb won't help us feed families neither will the hollow rhetoric of religion that we've sold to our people for years and years.

In other places, each coming day is better than the previous, that means progress. Every day brings something better. For us, it has been quite the opposite. Each coming day has proven to be worse, why is that so? Ask the 600,000 people who have left the country in 2025. See why they left and see if they would like to return or not.

Maybe the 7.1% unemployment rate might be one of the reasons. Despite this number, we have some wise men saying the country is progressing and is on the path to becoming a great economy. You call it optimism; I call it delusion. We are nowhere near progress.

You might be shielded from prosecution but correspondingly, many are also shielded from common sense and shielded from being able to use their brains. Now that is immunity. The reality is that we're already half the country we used to be. The other half broke off and ran away. Good for them, there isn't much happening here anyway except for perpetual disappointment.

The rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer. There are no checks and balances, the bureaucracies' just a lie, the judiciary has since been compromised and the public does not consider the law enforcement agencies and institutions to be as legitimate anymore. When public's perception of the judicial system deteriorates, they stop trusting their judges and their lawyers. I wouldn't trust my shadow.

How about we amend our constitution for the 28th time and this time, how about we actually bring about amendments which ensure welfare of the citizens? What have we done in the past years that has improved the lifestyle of our people? Nothing.

No wonder we haven't been able to foster critical thought and analytical skills because from the top all the way to the bottom, there is only one thing rampant. Corruption and incompetence. Wait, that's two things. The more corrupt and incompetent one is, the higher they'll climb on the food chain and just as faster. Then the question beckons, where do the educated go? To the international departures section of the airport. As unfortunate as that sounds, it is true. Don't give me the old cliché argument of 'why aren't you hopeful'?

Nietzsche said hope is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man and I could not agree more. You see hope where you see potential for change. Where you see at least some possibility of improvement and the presence of mechanism for the change to occur. I see neither.

Resultantly, we need to get rid of democracy. We're more than half way there, a little more trudging forward is all we need and I don't mean that in a bad way. Democracy only promotes herd mentality where everyone believes to have the same rights as others. Nietzsche was right to say that democracy is emblematic of promoting mediocrity.

Religions promote meaning and life is more about nihilism than anything else. None of this will matter eventually. The oppressors will be eradicated and so will the oppressed.

There's still time. Pet a dog, read a book, be kind and sleep early. Nothing matters anyway.
