Can you role-play? I'm not pointing fingers here, but let's say you decide you could do whatever you want, whenever you're pleased, to anyone you deem fit to be dominated by the likes of you. You may want to lash out at anyone and everyone appearing weaker than yourself, just because you could. Because why not? You may want to believe in the lie of the alpha individual, based on the myth of the alpha wolf. Did you know that an alpha wolf will only exist as being diminished by affliction and captivity? Because wild and healthy wolves mostly cooperates with one another, as they know there's normally enough for all, without the need to out-compete at any cost. What does that say about alpha bullies in society, a posture you could be tempted to adopt? Wouldn't you become sick and tired of being held captive by such diminutive and petty choices, which carries many backward responsibilities, most probably cancer inducing ones? Active exploitation will do that to the exploitative party, not mentioning tremendous, unreasonable harm continually inflicted to others. Such an unpleasant and ongoing, neverending drag. A kind of posture which demands cratering dedication, without benefit.
What does that say about the world we live in? A world that has more than enough for everyone. Enough food, enough water, enough shelter, enough privilege. Only the exploitative kind will scheme and lie in such ways as to make others believe in rarity and scarcity of fundamental living components. Because nature provides, some seizes and stashes, themselves afraid of missing out. So much so that because of them, people die as they can't find enough food, water, shelter or privilege. People die because some discovered a way to administer gigantic stashes, which will inevitably turn sour and become stale. But who cares? As some become masters at controlling access, it reveals that's the only thing they're good at. Bullies as brigands. And they are legion, as they appear from everywhere at all time, they never stop coming!
In truth, their widespread presence is a clear indicator of how corroded society has become. They play the part of cancer cells we so desperately need to root out. But bullies don't care. Because why would they? Surely they know that at first, cancer cells get to be center staged, in the middle of it all. Not to be celebrated, but to be identified, then freeze-dried and desiccated. They will assume central position only for a short while, as they'll obscure the light that was previously celebrated, and people won't notice, at first. People will celebrate whoever climb the pedestal. Only up to some point. Because kings of deception and infamy is what they are. And we know them as our own, as they are us. Confused? Don't be. Roles in society are distributed on a first come first served basis. We become the part as we wear the outfit, until we don't. The whole game is only a matter of appearances and circumstances, before we get to gather some healthier points of view, as we mature. To know how sick a forest really is, never look at individual trees, look at the whole.
Haters will hate, and haters you may become at any point in life. A way out could be killing all haters. That's tempting. While we may slowly get there, one hater at a time, I'm afraid we would never catch up. We could do much better. We could start by loving hate, then haters, as perspective changes, as we all end up wearing the clothes of those we first hated. You are what you decide to be, until you're not, before you decide to joyfully, playfully change your mind, again and again.
