Impersonal Powers

The Powers and Principalities are as impersonal as a hurricane. And the people that work for the Domination System think they're doing good. I can't blame them. They're playing the only game available, as best as they can. It makes no sense to get angry.

But, of course, I do get mad at people, once in a while -- including myself, I feed the system, after all -- but then I remember... The Domination System functions on its own, it multiples our small, personal, petty sins, turing the fear and selfish concerns of individual persons into immense, impersonal evil.

I see no hope in blaming people, even those who appear to be winning the game at the expense of others. Their petty greed is too small, too personal, to do great harm. It's the collective sins of human-kind, multiplied, made transpersonal that makes up the Powers and Principalities.
​
The same strategy applied to a hurricane needs to be applied to the Domination System. We get together and move our loved ones to a safer place.
