This is a follow-up to Why the World Is F*cked Up.
The source of (perhaps) all evil is the lack of humility to own accountability. But it doesn’t end there…
Most people blame themselves for things that aren’t their fault while they deny accountability for the things they are truly responsible for.
This twisted mentality is why the world seems insanely upside down — how otherwise “logical” and “intelligent” human beings can behave so irrationally, self-destructively, psychopathically, and gleefully maliciously.
Why are we thus?
We manage our trauma from abuse by abusing others exactly the same way we were abused. Something about positioning ourselves as the abusers mitigates the symptoms of our trauma — this is how nature made us to be. However, we choose to abuse anyone but our abusers, the innocent, the easy targets, just as we were once, each time passing the baton of trauma to the innocent and the unwilling in an unending cycle of abuse.
Our lack of ‘the humility of accountability’ is blindingly evident in the way we conduct ourselves in social matters. We foolishly acquiesce to the mass-schizophrenic phenomenon of “the state”, granting to psychopathic, warmongering, power-hungry pedophiles our blind obedience for the insane non-sequitur argument that, since people are fundamentally evil, then good can somehow come from giving to only a few evil people full, unaccountable, and exclusive power over the rest. Because that makes total sense… This is the “logic” behind the existence of the greatest shame of humanity: the consistent existence of the psychopathic evil of the state, our deluded, trauma-induced need for government.
The irrationality of statism, war, corruption, and flat-out evil is the consequence the lack of humility for accountability for things we are responsibly for, while we foster faux, pretentious self-blame for things that aren’t our responsibility, let alone our fault.
Here’s how to tell if you’re thus afflicted:
Do you imagine that your children somehow owe you anything, and not the other way around? Do you condition your children to reject true accountability and to assume unwarranted self-blame?
Consider:
You had the instinctive impulse, the emotional need to give in to your carnal, slimy biological functions and procreate. You initiated the action of bringing an unwilling soul into life… without asking yourself whether you’d make a good parent worthy of an innocent soul to keep.
Let’s face it, you likely had kids for these reasons:
To mitigate your crippling loneliness,
to stroke your ego by having a human pet worship you by default, without you having to earn this love and respect, and
to somewhat “cheat death” with your children as the easiest possible immortality project — “leaving something behind”, a legacy, people to mourn you, to remember you, at least for as long as they live.
True love? The instances of two parents loving each other so much that the overflow of affection compelled them to have children to cherish are extremely rare. In most cases, the motivation behind child making is selfish narcissism. Just look around at your average parent who feels entitled to their children’s self-defiling obedience, tolerance and internalisation of parental abuse, and lastly, crippling denial of self-ownership and self-determination.
Then consider the child’s side: the child never chose to be born, let alone be born to you and your flaws (especially if you’re flawed enough to see yourself without flaws). You arrogantly presume to have the moral right to bring an innocent child into this world in a state of condemnation to be involuntarily attached to you and your neuroses. What gave you the idea that you had any right to do that just because you can physically procreate? I mean, I can physically break faces — doesn’t mean I have the moral right to do it. Who told you you were fit to be a parent, let alone deserve an innocent child’s by-default and involuntary affection for you?
This parental entitlement to the undeserved love of the innocent — and the presumption of the “right” to abuse the innocent on top of this — is a telltale sign of lack of humility, and thus, lack of self-accountability.
If parents had the humility to understand that they were never worthy of having an innocent child helplessly reliant on them, then perhaps we’d have parents who’d feel more motivated to be better parents. This humility of accountability is the driver of good.
If you aren’t humble enough to at least ponder whether you had the moral right to bring an innocent life into this less-than-innocent world, then you will be a horrible parent, since you will never acknowledge your moral obligations to a pure soul you forced into a life of struggle, suffering, and involuntary attachments to shitty parents.
If, on the other hand, you are humble enough to recognise your responsibility towards a helpless, innocent soul you forced into this world, then perhaps you’ll feel obligated — as you should — to nurture it, instead of demanding from it a sense of obedience that is unearned and undeserved.
Consider the psychopathy of most parents, holding children accountable more than they do themselves. Children are pure, innocent, and helpless; they cannot control their emotions. Yet adults, supposedly with the means to control their emotions, choose to vent their frustrations on the easy target of children, holding children accountable — blaming even — for everything.
A child is crying? Instead of the parent holding himself accountable for why the child is crying (since he is responsible as a parent), he shuns his responsibility and instead blames the innocent child, who, without malice, simply responds to emotions it can’t control.
A child is lying? The same applies. What example are the parents giving? What is the child witnessing when overhearing parents accuse others on the phone, and are then super-friendly when they meet those others face to face?
A child is “misbehaving” (whatever that means)? Again, the parent has more agency over a child’s actions and emotions than the child does. Is the child irrational for resisting the parents’ commands, or are the parents being totally irrational with their abusive demands? Force-feeding, force-sleeping, neglect, psychological abuse (shaming, guilt-tripping, verbal abuse), and enmeshment (convincing children that they are responsible for your fucking emotions) are all the responsibility — hell, the fault— of the parents.
We cowardly hold children more accountable than we hold adults. Evil parents say, “If a child is unreasonable, then you must beat reason into the child.”
Right… But when an adult is unreasonable, without any excuses for this (since adults have the means and experience to be reasonable), we respect adults and agree not to beat reason into him. We show more tolerance and undue affection to inexcusable adults than we do to children who deserve every benefit of the doubt.
So, I shouldn’t beat reason into unreasonable parents who believe such unreasonable things? How “reasonable” is it to believe that “unreasonable” children somehow deserve physical abuse while truly unreasonable adults don’t? This fundamental hypocrisy is why the world is upside-down messed up.
We burden children with unwarranted blame that isn’t theirs while we reject true responsibility that is ours.
This is why we grow up rejecting due accountability while blaming ourselves for things that aren’t our fault. This is schizophrenic-level cognitive dissonance, the mass mental disease of our species, our well-earned undoing.
And then we pretend to wonder why the world is messed up? Really? You don’t know why? You do.
The State is the new God that everyone is required to worship.
You are onto something here. You're seeing the stuff and asking the questions that most people are too cowardly -- or too brainwashed -- to ask.
Now start connecting the dots between the messed-up nature of biological reproduction in advanced consciousness forms, the hideous concept of karma extending from one incarnation to the next, and the idea of a sadistic demiurge that demands worship, and you are going to start to see a really weird and disturbing picture emerge ...
